Recognition notes
The Crossbow B is a 65-ton heavy that fights close in, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the Crossbow Prime fields an LRM 20 in each arm with Artemis IV fire-control systems, this configuration strips the missile boat loadout for four Streak SRM 6 launchers, two in the left arm and two in the right. The exchange trades the Prime's long-range reach for saturation fire at short range, with the fusion engine, standard armor, and ten double heat sinks carried over unchanged. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds the type at New Kent, with additional production by Arcturan Arms.
