Recognition notes
The Vindicator VND-5L is a 45-ton skirmisher built around an ER PPC in the right arm, backed by a dense laser suite split across both torsos: an ER medium laser, a medium pulse laser, and a small laser in the left torso, mirrored by an ER medium laser, a medium pulse laser, and a small pulse laser in the right torso. A sword is mounted in the left arm. Triple-strength myomer lets it push its cruising speed from 43 km/h to a boosted 65 km/h under combat heat, with a jump range of 120 metres, and 10 double heat sinks handle the laser-heavy loadout. The frame is described as rugged and field-serviceable. Ceres Metals Industries builds it at Capella.
