Title: LB-X naming
Post by: Red Ronin on 23 March 2014, 23:00:06

Simply out of curiosity, what does the LB-X designation stand for?

Hi,

That is a legacy of one of the very rare times where a weapon system was named by its brand, rather than as a generic. LB stands for Lubalin Ballistics, who made the LB-X weapons used in the Star League-era Champion BattleMechs.

Thanks,
