Recognition notes
The Wakazashi is an 85-ton assault built for close-quarters juggernaut work, though its cruising speed of 32 km/h and top speed of 54 km/h leave it sluggish even for its weight class. A Gauss rifle fills the left arm and an ER PPC the right, while an LB 20-X AC sits in the right torso. A pair of ER medium lasers rounds out the arsenal, one in the center torso and one in the head, and a jump system carries it 90 metres. The chassis runs on endo steel structure with standard armor plating and fourteen double heat sinks, and it is known as a maintenance-intensive design. Eagle Craft Group builds the Wakazashi at its Ironhold works.
