Recognition Notes

The Shockwave SKW-4G is a 50-ton medium that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86 km/h, a 3083 refit of the 3082 SKW-2F. Where the SKW-2F mounts an ER Large Laser in the left torso, this variant carries a Large X-Pulse Laser in its place, alongside the same Rotary AC/5 and LRM 10 in the right torso. The Artemis IV fire-control system tied to the right torso launcher is absent here, and the heat-sink count drops from 11 to 10 double sinks. Both arms still carry reinforced battle fists, and the type is built as an easily-serviced design by Earthwerks-FWL, Inc. at its Keystone factory.
