Recognition notes
The Sun Cobra is a 55-ton sniper that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out at 65, sluggish for its weight class. Twin Gauss rifles, one in each arm, do the killing, and a targeting computer in the left torso sharpens their aim. An endo steel skeleton and a 220 XL fusion engine free up the tonnage for the guns and their ammunition, cooled by ten double heat sinks. Trellshire Heavy Industries builds it at Twycross, with additional production at Tamar.
