Recognition notes
The Vulture Mk IV C is a 60-ton heavy brawler that cruises at 54 km/h and tops out at 86. Where the Prime configuration carries an LB 5-X AC in the left arm and an ER PPC in the right, this configuration fields a Gauss Rifle in the left arm and an Improved Heavy Large Laser in the right, and in place of the twin SRM 6 racks in the torsos and the ER Small Pulse Laser of the Prime, it mounts a single ER Medium Laser in the center torso. The heat-sink count rises from 12 to 13 double sinks. Both configurations share the 300 XL fusion engine, ferro-lamellor armor, and the stable firing platform that marks the chassis, built at Manufacturing Plant SFF-TU1 on Tukayyid.
