Charger CGR-3K

The CGR-3K is an 80-ton assault that fights at stand-off range, a 3049 rebuild of the 2665 CGR-1A1 that trades the scout's battery of five Small Lasers for a mix built around four Medium Pulse Lasers spread across both arms and the left and right torso, plus an LRM 20 in the right torso. An Artemis IV fire-control system in the right torso sharpens that missile fire, and CASE lines the left torso against ammunition detonation. The engine swaps to a 400 XL fusion plant of the same rating, and ferro-fibrous armor replaces the CGR-1A1's standard plating while the heat-sink fit grows from 10 single sinks to 12 double. Cruising and top speeds hold at 54 and 86 km/h, and a jump capability of 150 metres is new to this configuration. The type is still built as an easily-serviced design, with Luthien Armor Works producing it alongside Sapphire Metals at the Shimonita line.
