Recognition Notes
The Crossbow J is a 65-ton heavy fielded as a skirmisher, an alternate configuration of the same chassis as the missile-boat Prime. Where the Prime mounts an LRM 20 with Artemis IV fire control in each arm, this configuration carries nine ER Small Lasers in the left arm and an Improved Heavy Large Laser in the right arm. A supercharger in the center torso lets it push to 108 km/h in short bursts atop its 54 km/h cruise and 86 km/h top speed, and talons are fitted to both legs. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent, with Arcturan Arms producing it as well.
