Mad Cat III 4

The Mad Cat III 4 is a 55-ton skirmisher, a 3095 rebuild of the 3076 Mad Cat III X missile boat, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97. Both arms carry an ER Medium Laser and an ER Small Laser, and an LRM 20 sits in each torso alongside a pair of ER Micro Lasers. Where the Mad Cat III X mounts an Artemis V fire-control system in each torso, this configuration drops both and adds an Anti-Missile System in the Head. Endo steel internal structure and ferro-fibrous armor replace the base's endo-composite structure and ferro-lamellor plating, and the heat-sink count rises from 10 double to 16 double. Enhanced communications gear is fitted, and the type is a maintenance-intensive design. Manufacturing Plant DSF-IT1 builds it at Itabaiana.
