Recognition notes
The Crab CRB-45 is a 50-ton sniper that fights at long range, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97. It carries a Light PPC in each arm and a third in the left torso, backed by an ER Large Laser in the center torso. A C3i computer sits in the right torso, and a 300 XL fusion engine drives a frame plated in heavy ferro-fibrous armor. The design is noted as easily serviced, and Cosara Weaponries builds it at Northwind.
