Recognition notes
The LGB-13C is an 85-ton missile boat, a 3070 rebuild of the 2480 LGB-0C that trades its twin LRM 20 racks for six MML 7 launchers spread across both arms, both torsos, with two in each arm. Each launcher location carries an Artemis IV fire-control system, and CASE lines both side torsos where the original carried none. In place of the paired medium lasers and the single head-mounted small laser, this variant fields three ER small lasers, two in the center torso and one in the head, and a lighter 340 XL fusion engine lifts cruising speed from 32 to 43 km/h and top speed from 54 to 65 km/h. Standard armor replaces the LGB-0C's primitive plating, and the 12 double heat sinks stand in place of the base's 15 single units. The minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and the fixed searchlight carry over from the original, and this model adds anti-aircraft fire control. StarCorps (FWL) Industries builds it at Emris IV, with production also at Crofton.
