Recognition notes
The CRD-9S is a 65-ton sniper that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Its firepower centers on an Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle in the center torso, backed by twin LRM 10 racks and a pair of ER medium lasers spread across both arms. CASE lines the right torso, and the endo steel frame is protected by standard armor and cooled by 10 double heat sinks. The type is built as a rugged, field-serviceable frame, easily serviced in the field, and TharHes Industries produces it at Tharkad.
