Recognition notes
The Caesar CES-3R "Gertrude" is a 70-ton heavy brawler, a 3062 rework of the 3049 original. Where the base CES-3R mounts four Medium Pulse Lasers, this variant swaps them for eight ER Medium Lasers, doubling the count in each arm, adding a pair in the center torso, and turning what were rear-facing mounts in the left and right torso to face forward. The ER PPC in the right arm and the Gauss Rifle in the right torso match the 3049 original, and CASE lines the right torso as before. Cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, it carries hyper-extending arm actuators on both arms. Johnston Industries builds it at New Syrtis.
