Recognition notes
The THE-Nb is a 20-ton striker, a 2743 rework of the 2490 THE-F, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a MASC unit in the left torso pushing sprint speed to 130 km/h when engaged. Where the THE-F carried a Medium Laser and an LRM 5 in its arms, the THE-Nb consolidates its firepower in the right arm with an ER Large Laser and a Medium Laser, while the Head still carries a laser, now a Small Laser in place of the original's Medium Laser. An XL fusion engine and endo steel structure replace the standard engine and structure of the base model, and the heat-sink count holds at 10 but shifts from single to double sinks. It remains an easily-serviced design, built by Ford Military Limited at Terra.
