Recognition notes
The SHD-5D (Sandy) is a 55-ton sniper, a heavier and far newer rebuild of the 2467 SHD-1R at 3068. Where the SHD-1R carried a Medium Laser in the right arm and an AC/5 in the left torso, this variant fields a Light PPC in the right arm and a Heavy PPC in the left torso, with a TAG in the head. A larger 275 fusion engine lifts cruising speed from 43 to 54 km/h and top speed from 65 to 86 km/h, while jump range extends from 90 to 150 metres. Twelve double heat sinks replace the original's ten single, and standard armor now covers a frame still built with reinforced battle fists on both arms. Bermuda Combat Systems produces it, with additional manufacturing at other sites.
