Recognition notes
The Crossbow E is a 65-ton heavy configured as a skirmisher, 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, the E strips both arms down to batteries of eight AP Gauss Rifles apiece, trading reach for a swarm of short-range fire. A targeting computer sits in the center torso in place of the Prime's missile fire-control gear. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent, with production also carried out at Arcturus.
