Recognition Notes
The Crab CRB-30 is a 50-ton sniper that fights at long range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Twin ER PPCs fill the left and right arms, backed by an ER Medium Laser in the center torso and an ER Small Laser tucked into the head. A Guardian ECM suite rides in the left torso and a C3i computer sits in the right torso, and the design carries the reputation of being easy to service in the field. Cosara Weaponries builds the type at Northwind.
