Recognition Notes
The Lightning Attack Hovercraft CX-3 is a 35-ton hover combat vehicle built for the striker role, cruising at 119 km/h and topping out near 184. Where the original mounted a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers up front alongside a single-shot SRM 4 OS on each side, the CX-3 strips the loadout down to one Medium Pulse Laser in the front, and drops both SRM 4 OS launchers entirely. Vehicular Stealth armor replaces the Ferro-Fibrous plating of the original, and a Guardian ECM suite is fitted in the hull. The hull carries a low, hard-to-target silhouette, and this refit is credited to ComStar.
