Recognition notes
The Crusader CRD-9R is a 65-ton heavy built as a missile boat, running on a 325 XXL fusion engine that gives it a brisk 54 km/h cruising speed and a top speed near 86 for its weight class. Each arm carries an LRM 15, a Light PPC, and a Machine Gun, while an SRM 6 sits in each leg, giving it both a long-reaching missile-and-PPC punch and a close-in backup battery. CASE II is fitted in the right torso, and standard armor covers the frame along with 12 double heat sinks. The type is built as a rugged, field-serviceable frame noted for being easily maintained in the field.
