LT-19

The LT-19, also referred to as the B-Lane 00-100, is a high-speed train and enemy obstacle in Starbuster. Likely not intended as a weapon by it's manufacturer, the B-Lane is a dangerous obstacle to the player's character. Appearing in three different color variations, these trains run along three railways on Mission 0 on the site of Laboratory 19.

Appearance
The B-Lane 00-100 is composed of a series of five rail carriages; four box carriages and the front locomotive. The trains will appear in three different colour variations, a red and yellow train, a grey and red train, and a pink and purple train. Each variation is seemingly picked at random intervals, however some players believe that the red and yellow variation is the most common, whilest the pink and purple variation is the rarest.

Regardless of color, each B-Lane carries the futuristic aesthetic of the game, with panel lining and angular details that differentiate it from any modern-day train. The cockpit is arranged near the top of the train at the front on the locomotive carriage, with ventilator compartments on either side parallel to the cockpit. Separated by grill detailings are two large labels written in a light grey, reading "00-100" "B-LANE".

The four box carriages also share the futuristic motif, donning a large stripe across the top section of the box. In the top-left margins of this stripe reads a set of futuristic hieroglyphics (currently unreadable due to a lack of context) and the label "LT-19". Whether LT-19 or B-Lane 00-100 is the train's true title is unknown.

In total, the B-Lane is far longer than any other enemy at Laboratory 19.

Description
The B-Lane is an extremely fast obstacle, as well as invulnerable and impervious to any damage inflicted by the player. When the train is nearby, heading towards the player, the glow from the train's headlights get closer and brighter, signifying that the train is very close. Often nearby the tracks are pole posts or hideaways that the player can grab onto or climb into. If the player can successfully reach a safe spot, they will not be harmed by the train. This is vital to surviving the train's fast speed, but these trains will often still pose a great obstacle to the player. Additionally, the hideaways are often occupied by Imperial security bots.
