Recognition notes
The Crossbow Prime is a 65-ton missile boat that fights at long range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Twin LRM 20 racks fill both arms, each paired with its own Artemis IV fire-control system, giving the type a heavy missile punch with no backup weaponry of any other kind. Ten double heat sinks vent the launchers' heat, and standard armor covers the frame. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent, with additional production at Arcturan Arms's Arcturus line.
