Recognition notes
The Shilone SL-18 is a 65-ton fighter flown as a dogfighter, rebuilding the SL-17's fire-support loadout around three MML 7 launchers in the nose alongside an ER Large Laser, replacing the older model's single LRM 20 and Large Laser in that position. An ER Medium Laser sits in the right wing and another in the left wing, replacing the Medium Lasers the SL-17 carried in the same positions, and a fourth MML 7 covers the aft arc where the SL-17 mounted an SRM 4. The XL engine and Ferro-Aluminum armor replace the SL-17's Fusion engine and Standard plate, and twenty double heat sinks cool the airframe in place of the SL-17's twenty single heat sinks. Wakazashi Enterprises builds the type at Chatham.
