Recognition Notes
The Crusader CRD-8L is a 65-ton skirmisher riding a 325 XL fusion engine, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Each arm carries an identical trio of weapons: a Plasma Rifle, an MML 7, and an ER Medium Laser, giving the design symmetrical firepower on both sides. Endo steel structure and standard armor cover the frame, which is built rugged and easily serviced in the field. Tao 'Mechworks produces the type at its Sarna factory.
