Recognition notes
The Thorn THE-S is a 20-ton striker that cruises at 65 km/h and tops out near 97, carrying the same armament as the 2490 THE-F it derives from: a medium laser in the left arm, an LRM 5 in the right arm, and a second medium laser in the head. Engine, structure, and standard armor all match the original chassis, and the type keeps its reputation as an easily-serviced design. Rather than coming off a single production line, it is turned out as a field refit at various sites in place of the original's dedicated Terra factory.
