Viking VKG-3A

The VKG-3A is a 3074 refit of the 3059 original, a 90-ton missile boat that still cruises at 32 km/h and tops out at 54, slow for its weight. Where the VKG-2F carried an LRM 20 in each arm, LRM 15s in both torsos, and four machine guns in the legs, this refit strips out the leg-mounted machine guns entirely and leaves the right arm without a weapon. The left arm and left torso each carry an MML 7 with an Artemis IV fire-control system, and the left torso adds a medium pulse laser. The right torso trades its former LRM 15 and Artemis IV fire-control system for an Arrow IV and a medium pulse laser, retaining CASE, and a small pulse laser now sits in the center torso where the VKG-2F had none. The 270 fusion engine is replaced by a 270 compact fusion engine, and the heat-sink count rises from 10 double to 11 double. The type still shows its minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands, and is built as a refit at the Arcturan Arms Refit Facility on Arcturus.
