Recognition notes
The THE-N2 is a 20-ton striker, a 3071 rework of the 2490 THE-F, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out at 97. Where the THE-F carried a Medium Laser in the left arm and an LRM 5 in the right, the THE-N2 drops the left-arm laser entirely and fields an MML 7 in the right arm alongside an ER Small Laser in the head. An XL fusion engine and endo steel structure replace the base model's standard fusion engine and standard structure, and double heat sinks stand in for the THE-F's single sinks. It remains an easily-serviced design, built by Ford Military Limited at Terra.
