Recognition notes
The Crusader CRD-8S is a 65-ton skirmisher built around a 260 XL fusion engine, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a jump capability of 120 metres. Each arm carries an LRM 10 and a Medium Laser, and a Heavy Gauss Rifle sits in the center torso for close, punishing work. CASE lines the right torso, guarding against a magazine explosion in that section. The frame is built rugged and field-serviceable, easily maintained in forward conditions, and TharHes Industries produces it at Tharkad.
