Recognition notes
The Crab CRB-27 is a 50-ton skirmisher that fights at medium range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Its main punch comes from 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. Ferro-fibrous armor covers the frame, and 16 single heat sinks handle the engine's output. The design is noted as easily serviced, and Cosara Weaponries builds it at Northwind.
