Recognition notes
The Crab CRB-20 is a 50-ton medium that fights at medium range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. It carries a Large Laser in each arm, backed by a Medium Laser in the center torso and a Small Laser in the head for close work. Sixteen single heat sinks and standard armor cover a straightforward standard internal structure, and the chassis is noted as an easily-serviced design. Cosara Weaponries builds the CRB-20 at its Northwind plant.
