Recognition notes
The Sphinx 4 is a 75-ton brawler that closes to short range, a role born out of a 3091 rework of the 3078 Sphinx that once fought as a skirmisher. In place of the ER Large Laser in each arm it carries a Large Pulse Laser, and where the original packed ER Medium Lasers through its torsos, this configuration replaces all ten with Heavy Small Lasers, four in the Left Torso, four in the Right Torso, and two in the Center Torso. The heat-sink count rises from 23 to 24 double sinks, and cruising and top speed hold at 54 and 86 km/h on the same 375 XL fusion engine. It keeps the rugged, field-serviceable frame and easily-serviced design of the original, and LAW-Avon Alpha builds it at Avon.
