Recognition notes
The Wasp WSP-1A is a 20-ton scout that closes to short range, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, quicker than the WSP-1's 54/86 pairing, and its jump jets carry it 180 metres against that configuration's 150. Where the WSP-1 fields only a Medium Laser in the Right Arm, this configuration carries an SRM 2 in the Left Leg alongside it. Standard armor covers the frame here, in place of the primitive plating on the WSP-1. The type is noted as an easily-serviced design, and Alliance Defenders Limited builds it at Alpheratz, among other sites.
