Recognition notes
The TBT-XK7 rebuilds the Trebuchet as a 50-ton skirmisher, a 3081 refit of the 2780 TBT-3C missile boat. Where the TBT-3C carried twin LRM 15 racks with Artemis IV fire control, this version fields a Streak SRM 6 in the left arm and another in the right torso, joined by an ER Medium Laser in the left arm, a Medium Pulse Laser in the right torso, and an ER Flamer in the left torso. A lighter 250 XL engine and Triple-Strength Myomer replace the original's 300 XL powerplant and standard myomer, dropping cruising speed from 65 to 54 km/h and top speed from 97 to 86 km/h, though the myomer allows a boosted cruising speed of 76 km/h under combat heat; a 150-metre jump capability is also fitted where the TBT-3C had none. The left arm carries a small shield and the right arm a chain whip, while modular armor plating covers the left torso, right torso, and center torso. Its arm-mounted weapon can be jettisoned, and the design remains easy to service in the field, refitted by Vandenberg Mechanized Industries at Pinard.
