Recognition notes
The Swordsman SWD-1 is a 40-ton medium fielded as a sniper, though its loadout spans both close and long engagement bands. It mounts a medium laser in each arm, an AC/5 in the left torso, and an LRM 5 in the right torso. A 145 fusion engine and primitive armor plating leave it slow for its weight, cruising at only 32 km/h and topping out near 54. A fixed searchlight is mounted on the chassis, and the design was listed as obsolete by 2482. Jerricho Industries builds it at Robinson.
