Charger CGR-SA5

The CGR-SA5 rebuilds the Charger around close-in brawling, where the CGR-1A1 fought as a scout. In place of the five small lasers scattered across the original's arms, torsos, and head, this variant mounts a pair of Streak SRM 6 launchers in the left arm, an ER medium laser in each torso and one in the head, and an LB 20-X AC in the center torso. A lighter 320 light fusion engine on an endo steel frame drops cruising speed from 54 to 43 km/h and top speed from 86 to 65, though MASC in the left torso lets it sprint back up to 86 km/h; CASE shares that same torso bay. Sapphire Metals, working out of the former Luthien Armor Works plant, builds the type at Shimonita.
