Recognition notes
The Thanatos TNS-4T is a 3062 rebuild of the 3061 TNS-4S, a 75-ton skirmisher whose stand-off firepower now runs through an LB 20-X AC in the left torso rather than the base model's left-arm ER large laser and medium pulse laser pairing. The right arm keeps its MRM 20, and the left and right torsos each pick up a pair of medium pulse lasers in place of the single ER medium laser the TNS-4S carried in each side. A lighter 300 XL fusion engine replaces the 375 XL unit, cutting cruising speed from 54 to 43 km/h and top speed from 86 to 65 km/h, with jump range falling from 150 to 120 metres, and the heat-sink count drops from 16 to 12 double sinks. The Guardian ECM suite in the left torso and the C3 slave unit in the center torso carry over, and the type still presents as a stable firing platform. StarCorps Industries builds it at Crofton, with additional production at Loburg.
