Recognition notes
The Viper VP-1 is a 70-ton heavy that fights close in, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a jump range of 120 metres. It carries a Binary Laser (Blazer) Cannon in each arm, and adds Medium Pulse Lasers in the left torso, right torso, and center torso rear. Standard armor covers a standard internal structure over a 280 XL fusion engine, cooled by 17 double heat sinks. The frame is built rugged and field-serviceable, with a fixed searchlight and enhanced communications gear rounding out its fittings. Kallon Industries builds the Viper at its Bernardo plant, with additional production at Asuncion.
