Recognition Notes
The Thorn THE-N is a 20-ton striker, a 2549 rework of the 2490 THE-F, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97. It carries the same Medium Laser in the left arm and Medium Laser in the head alongside an LRM 5 in the right arm, but swaps the internal structure to endo steel and adds CASE in the right torso. The type remains an easily-serviced design, built by Ford Military Limited at Terra.
