Thanatos TNS-6S

The TNS-6S is a 75-ton skirmisher, a 3081 rebuild of the 3061-era TNS-4S that trades reach for a heavier engine swap. Where the TNS-4S carried an ER large laser and medium pulse laser in the left arm and an MRM 20 in the right, this variant mounts a Heavy PPC in the left arm and three LRM 5 racks in the right. The torsos now each carry an ER medium laser paired with a plain medium laser, and the lighter 300 light fusion engine drops cruising speed from 54 to 43 km/h and top speed from 86 to 65 km/h, while jump range rises from 150 to 180 metres. The Guardian ECM suite is gone, and the C3 slave unit shifts from the center torso to the head; the design keeps its stable firing platform. StarCorps Industries builds it at Loburg.
