Recognition notes
The CRD-3R (Crael) is a 65-ton brawler built for close-in fighting, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Four SRM 6 racks fill the legs and torsos, a dense short-range battery, while a medium laser and a machine gun ride in each arm. In place of hands, both arms end in claws, giving the frame a distinctive silhouette suited to grappling as much as shooting. It's a field refit rather than a factory line product, built up as a rugged, field-serviceable frame that's easily serviced under rough conditions, assembled at various sites rather than a single dedicated plant.
