Hercules HRC-LS-9003

The Hercules HRC-LS-9003 is a 70-ton skirmisher that cruises at 54 km/h and tops out at 86 km/h, matching the pace of the 3054 HRC-LS-9000 it succeeds. Where the HRC-LS-9000 carries an LB 10-X AC in the right arm, this 3088 rebuild swaps in an Ultra AC/10, and the Streak SRM 2 and the rear-facing small pulse lasers of the earlier model are absent from the loadout. The medium pulse laser in the left arm and the ER PPC in the right torso carry over, alongside the Anti-Missile System in the center torso. Composite internal structure replaces the earlier standard structure, and the heat-sink count rises from 12 to 14 double. An Angel ECM suite occupies the left torso and CASE II lines the right torso, equipment absent from the original. It is a maintenance-intensive design, built by Kali Yama/Alphard Trading Corp. at Kendall.
