Recognition notes
The STG-5M is a 20-ton scout that closes to short range, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a 180-metre jump. Where the STG-3R carried a pair of machine guns in the arms, this configuration mounts a Flamer in the left arm and pairs the right-arm Medium Laser with an Anti-Missile System. Endo steel internal structure replaces the standard structure of the original, and the frame keeps its rugged, field-serviceable build and cramped cockpit. Earthwerks-FWL, Inc. builds it at Calloway VI, among other sites.
