Recognition notes
The Vulture Mk IV Prime is a 60-ton brawler that cruises at 54 km/h and tops out near 86. Its arms carry an LB 5-X AC on the left and an ER PPC on the right, and four SRM 6 racks fill out the torsos, two to a side. A pair of ER small pulse lasers sits in the center torso, and ferro-lamellor armor covers the endo steel frame. Twelve double heat sinks handle the engine's output, and the design carries itself as a stable firing platform. Manufacturing Plant SFF-TU1 builds it on Tukayyid.
