Recognition Notes
The Crossbow A is a 65-ton heavy that fights close in, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the Prime configuration mounts an LRM 20 with an Artemis IV fire-control system in each arm, this configuration splits the same tonnage across a Streak SRM 6, a Medium Pulse Laser, and an LRM 5 in the left arm, mirrored by the same trio in the right arm. The shift trades the Prime's long-range missile weight for short-range firepower without any of the Artemis targeting gear. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent, with production also at Arcturan Arms.
