Recognition notes
The CPLT-C1b is a 65-ton missile boat, a 2688 refit of the 2561 CPLT-C1, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65 with a 120-metre jump. It carries the same LRM 15 in each arm and the same trio of medium lasers across the left torso, right torso, and center torso as the original, but ferro-fibrous armor replaces the standard plating, and the heat-sink count drops from 15 single to 12 double. Its arms remain minimal weapon pods without hands, and the head is still a fragile mounting. Hollis Incorporated builds it at Corey and other sites.
