Recognition Notes
The VTR-9B (Kataga) is an 80-ton assault that brawls at close-in to medium range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65 with a 120-metre jump. Its left arm carries a pair of Large Pulse Lasers, its right arm a Gauss Rifle, and a Medium Laser sits in each torso. A Beagle active probe is fitted in the left torso, and the chassis rides on a 320 XL fusion engine with endo steel structure and 14 double heat sinks. Recognition marks include a rugged, field-serviceable frame, consistent with its origin as a field refit assembled at various sites rather than a single production line.
