==Description==
The '''''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade''''' (''TRO:3055 Upgrade'') was released in 2005 and is part of a wider attempt to summarize and consolidate unit designs originating from the earliest ''TRO''-releases. Therefor it contained all new artwork for all units presented, even the already published. It is the third ''TRO:3055'' (after original ''[[Technical Readout: 3055|TRO:3055]]'' (1992) and ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Revised|TRO:3055 Revised]]'' (1996)). It was the first book in the Upgrade series (''[[Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade|TRO:3058 Upgrade]]'' (2006) and ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade|TRO:3050 Upgrade]]'' (2007) followed). At the same time it was the first ''TRO'' containing units built with [[Rules_Level/BMRR#Rules_Level_3|Level 3]] equipment.

''TRO:3055 Upgrade'' purports to be [[3067]] review from [[Wolfnet]] on the original ''TRO:3055''. It presents a mix of previously published designs (mostly [['Mechs]] and [[OmniFighter]]s from ''TRO:3055'') with new and republished [[Solaris VII]] designs. Upgraded in appearance and technology, the latter designs were first presented in the ''[[Solaris VII: The Game World]]'' box set and ''[[Solaris: The Reaches]]''.
