Recognition Notes
The Crab CRB-54 is a 50-ton skirmisher built around a 350 XXL fusion engine, cruising at 76 km/h and topping out at 119, with a supercharger in the center torso pushing it to 151 km/h when engaged. Twin Plasma Rifles fill both arms, backed by an ER Medium Laser in the center torso and an ER Small Laser in the head. Composite internal structure and heavy ferro-fibrous armor cover a frame noted as an easily-serviced design, cooled by 15 double heat sinks. Cosara Weaponries builds it at Northwind.
