Stalker STK-3Fb

The STK-3Fb is an 85-ton juggernaut, a 2705 rebuild of the 2594 STK-3F, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out at 54. Where the original mounted an LRM 10 in each arm, this configuration carries an LRM 15, and Artemis IV fire-control systems in both the left and right arm sharpen those missile racks. The Large Laser in each torso is replaced by an ER Large Laser, and the SRM 6 racks in the left and right torso are dropped entirely. CASE lines the left torso, and a Guardian ECM suite sits in the center torso; the double heat sinks also replace the single heat sinks of the STK-3F. The twin medium lasers in each arm carry over unchanged, as does the machine's minimal, weapon-pod arm design without hands and its combat computer. Triad Technologies builds it at Pollux, among other sites.
