Recognition notes
The Xerxes 2 is an 85-ton heavy fighter flown in the fire-support role, its twin ER large lasers in the nose carried over from the original Xerxes. Where that dogfighter model mounted an Ultra AC/20 in each wing, this variant replaces both with a Gauss rifle, one in the right wing and one in the left wing. CASE is fitted in the right wing and in the left wing, rather than the single fuselage-mounted unit on the original. Armor remains ferro-aluminum plate, and twelve double heat sinks cool the airframe. Csesztreg Industriplex Delta builds the type at Csesztreg.
