Recognition notes
The Star Crusader A is an 80-ton assault that fights close in, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the Prime configuration carries an ER Large Laser and ER Medium Laser in each arm, this configuration mounts a Gauss Rifle and Medium Pulse Laser in the left arm and an ER PPC and Medium Pulse Laser in the right arm. In place of the Prime's twin Streak LRM 20 racks it fields a single Streak SRM 6 in the left torso, and it does not carry the Prime's head-mounted Anti-Missile System. Its jump range reaches 180 metres, twice the Prime's 90, and it mounts 14 double heat sinks against the Prime's 13, standing as a stable firing platform on ferro-fibrous armor. Imperial BattleMechs builds the type at Antwerp.
