Recognition notes

The Cronus CNS-3M is a 55-ton skirmisher that cruises at 54 km/h and tops out near 86, with a single jump carrying it 150 metres. A Large Laser sits in the right arm, backed by a Medium Laser in the left torso and two more in the right torso, while a SRM 4 in the center torso covers closer work. Fourteen single heat sinks and standard armor round out the frame, and the design is noted for being easily serviced. Gilmour Miltech builds the type at its Talitha plant.
