Recognition Notes
The TDR-9T is a 65-ton missile boat, a 3083 rework of the 2491 TDR-1C that trades the original's slow, thin-skinned frame for a 390 XL fusion engine, endo steel structure, and a cruising speed of 65 km/h against the earlier machine's 32. Where the TDR-1C carried a Large Laser and twin Machine Guns in its arms, the TDR-9T mounts a pair of Light PPCs in the Right Arm, and its three ER Medium Lasers fill the Left Torso in place of the earlier three standard Medium Lasers. The LRM 15 and SRM 2 give way to a single LRM 10 in the Right Torso, now backed by CASE in the same location, and 12 double heat sinks replace the old model's 10 singles. The design retains the chassis's rugged, field-serviceable frame, and is built by Vandenberg Mechanized Industries at its Pinard plant.
