Recognition notes
The Crusader CRD-5K is a 65-ton heavy that fights at close-to-medium range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a jump capability of 120 metres. Twin MRM 30 racks fill both arms, backed by a Medium Laser in each torso and a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers in the center torso. CASE lines the left torso, and a C3 slave unit sits in the head, linking the machine into a networked lance. The frame is built rugged and field-serviceable, with an emphasis on ease of maintenance. Cosby BattleMech Research Firm builds it at Luthien.
