'''Technical Readout: 3055 Revised''' was the managed response to the issue of the ''[[Unseen]]'' like previously the ''[[Technical Readout: 3025 Revised]]'' and ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Revised]]'' had been. It supplanted the original ''[[Technical Readout: 3050]]'' (with even the same product number), simply dropping the Unseen designs. Apart from that only minor editorial changes were made. Unlike previous revised editions, ''TRO:3055 Revised'' did not even receive an additional in-universe explanation for its existence, it still purports to be a [[ComStar]] report from 3055.

Description

Technical Readout: 3055 Revised was the managed response to the issue of the Unseen like previously the Technical Readout: 3025 Revised and Technical Readout: 3050 Revised had been.

Unlike previous revised editions, TRO:3055 Revised did not even receive an additional in-universe explanation for its existence, it still purports to be a ComStar report from 3055.

The 1996 TRO:3055 Revised was supplanted in 2005 by Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade.
