Recognition notes
The Vulture Mk III (Mad Dog Mk III) Prime is a 60-ton missile boat that fights at long range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Four LRM 20 racks fill the torsos, two in the left and two in the right, giving it its long-range punch, while six ER medium lasers are spread two to each arm and two in the center torso for closer defense. The chassis rides on a 300 XL fusion engine with endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor, and it carries 12 double heat sinks. It's built as a stable firing platform, and Alshain Weapons produces it at its Alshain factory.
