Recognition notes
The LGB-7Q is an 85-ton missile boat, a 2610 rework of the 2480 LGB-0C that trades the earlier engine for a lighter 255 fusion unit while holding the same cruising speed of 32 km/h and top speed of 54. Each arm still mounts an LRM 20, but the torsos add an LRM 5 alongside the medium laser on each side, and the head-mounted small laser found on the LGB-0C is absent here. Standard armor replaces the primitive plating of the original, and the heat-sink count rises from 15 to 22 single sinks. The type carries anti-aircraft fire control in place of the LGB-0C's enhanced communications gear, and it keeps the same minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and fixed searchlight. StarCorps (FWL) Industries builds it, with production also carried out at other sites.
