Recognition notes
The Crucible is a 100-ton assault built for sniping at long range, cruising at a sluggish 32 km/h and topping out near 54, with a jump capability of 90 metres. Its firepower is built around four Gauss rifles, one in each arm and one in each side torso, backed by a single micro pulse laser in the head. The design runs a 300 XL fusion engine on an endo steel frame with standard armor plating, cooled by 12 double heat sinks. Earthwerks-FWL, Inc. builds the type at its Keystone facility.
