Recognition notes

The Crossbow CRS-X is a 60-ton missile boat that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Each arm carries a Medium Laser paired with two LRM 5 racks, and a Large Laser sits in the right torso for added reach. Its primitive armor and standard internal structure mark it as an early-production design, and the type was listed as obsolete by 2490. Arcturan Arms builds it at Arcturus.
