Recognition notes
The Crossbow T is a 65-ton heavy that trades the Prime configuration's missile-boat role for a skirmisher fit, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the Prime carries an LRM 20 with an Artemis IV fire-control system in each arm, this configuration fields an ER Large Laser in each arm backed by a dense one-shot missile battery: an improved one-shot SRM 6 and seven improved one-shot SRM 2 launchers per arm. A light active probe sits in the center torso, and the heat-sink count rises to 12 double from the Prime's 10. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent, with production also at Arcturus.
