Recognition notes
The Crossbow U is a 65-ton heavy 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, this configuration replaces that battery with an LRT 10, an ER Medium Laser, and an SRT 2 in each arm. Underwater maneuvering units sit in the center torso and both legs, marking it out for amphibious work rather than the Prime's long-range missile support. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent, with production also carried out at Arcturus.
