Recognition notes
The Snake (Arthur) is a 45-ton striker built as a field refit of the SNK-1V, a 3068 rework of the 3053 original. Where the SNK-1V carries an LB 10-X AC in the right arm, the (Arthur) mounts an ER PPC there instead, and in place of the three Streak SRM 2 launchers in the left torso it fields a single LRM 5 alongside an Anti-Missile System. MASC sits in the left torso, letting the machine sprint to 108 km/h with the system engaged on top of its 54 km/h cruise and 86 km/h top speed, and a Guardian ECM suite occupies the right torso. Stealth armor replaces the SNK-1V's standard plating, and the heat-sink count rises from 11 to 13 double sinks. Being a field refit, it carries no fixed manufacturer, with conversions turned out at various sites.
