Recognition notes
The Wraith TR5 is a 55-ton skirmisher, a 3140 rebuild of the 3055 TR1 original. Where the TR1 carries a Medium Pulse Laser in each side of its Left Arm and a Large Pulse Laser in the Right Arm, the TR5 fields Medium X-Pulse Lasers in the same Left Arm mounts and a Large X-Pulse Laser in the Right Arm. A lighter 330 XL fusion engine replaces the TR1's 385 XL, and cruising speed falls from 76 to 65 km/h with top speed down from 119 to 97 km/h, though a supercharger in the Right Torso pushes it to a sprint of 130 km/h when engaged. Endo-composite internal structure replaces the TR1's endo steel, and the heat-sink count rises from 10 double to 13 double. Like the TR1, it remains a maintenance-intensive design, and Hellespont 'Mech Works builds it at Sian.
