The '''Heavy LRM Carrier''' is an upgrade to the [[LRM Carrier]], a traditional standby. Produced by the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] to coincide with the production of the [[Taurian Concordat]]'s [[Light SRM Carrier]], the Heavy LRM Carrier quickly found its way into the armed forces of every [[Periphery]] power thanks in part to both its low cost and the willingness of the Canopians to sell to all Periphery nations. Promotional vids that showed the two new [[combat vehicle]]s from the allied powers working together helped as well.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

The eighty ton carrier is slower than the vehicle it is based on, only capable of attaining speeds up to 32 km/h. This snail's pace is not seen as a great weakness, however, as it is not designed to close with an enemy. A measly four tons of armor protects the Heavy LRM Carrier, clearly its greatest weakness as it is not capable of withstanding any counterfire.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

*;Heavy MML Carrier : This is a [[Jihad]] era variant, which its weapons have been completely revised.  The LRM launchers have been replaced by six [[MML-9|9-Tubed Multi-Missile Launchers]] with 4 tons of ammunition for both missile types. To protect the vehicle from Battle Armor and Infantry attack, the vehicle has been fitted with four [[B-Pod|B-Pods]]. BV (2.0) = 722<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 44</ref>
