Recognition Notes
The Crab CRB-27b is a 50-ton sniper built around a pair of ER Large Lasers, one in each arm, backed by a Medium Laser in the center torso and a Small Laser in the head. It cruises at 54 km/h and tops out near 86, respectable for its weight. Sixteen double heat sinks and ferro-fibrous armor round out a chassis noted for being an easily-serviced design. Cosara Weaponries builds it at Northwind.
