Recognition notes
The Wasp WSP-1K is a 20-ton scout that fights close in, mounting a medium laser in the right arm alongside a machine gun in the left torso, where the WSP-1 carries only the medium laser. Standard armor plating replaces the base configuration's primitive protection, and the same 120 fusion engine now pushes the WSP-1K to a cruising speed of 65 km/h and a top speed of 97, up from the WSP-1's 54 and 86 km/h, with jump range extended from 150 to 180 metres. The type is noted as an easily-serviced design. Field production is handled through field refit at various sites rather than a dedicated manufacturing line.
