Recognition notes
The King Crab KGC-009 is a 100-ton juggernaut built for close-in work, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out at 54. Each arm carries a Plasma Rifle and a Light AC/5, while the torsos each hold an MML 7 and a Medium Laser. CASE lines both side torsos, and a Guardian ECM suite sits in the head. It serves as a command 'Mech, though its dense arm-mounted weapons load makes it a maintenance-intensive design. StarCorps Industries builds the KGC-009 at its Loburg plant.
