Recognition notes
The Star Adder (Blood Asp) E is a 90-ton assault configured as a skirmisher, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a 120-metre jump capability the Prime configuration lacks. Where the Prime carries paired Gauss rifles in the side torsos and Heavy Medium Lasers with Medium Pulse Lasers in each arm, this configuration mounts an ER PPC and a Medium Pulse Laser in each of the left and right torsos, with a pair of ATM 3 launchers in each arm. In place of the Prime's Streak SRM 6, the center torso carries no dedicated weapon, and a targeting computer sits in the left torso. Two more double heat sinks are fitted than on the Prime, bringing the total to 20. The type shares the same rugged, field-serviceable frame as the base configuration, and Sheridan LM-TA 8-10 builds it at Sheridan, with production also carried out at the Snow Raven Industrial Complex Alpha.
