MercTech: Crab

History:
The 50 ton Crab was designed by the SLDF as a guerilla fighter and raider, expected to stay behind enemy lines for extended periods of time, where supplies are scarce if not impossible to obtain. To accomplish this, the Crab uses an all-energy loadout, eliminating any worries of limited ammunition, with the original model relying on paired large-class lasers to engage at range, with a medium and small-class laser for close-ranged defense. In order to function at optimal performance for long periods of time, virtually all the Crab's components are proven reliable equipment, making it a dream to maintain.

As the original Crab model used almost all Age of War-era equipment, with the sole exception being its Ferro-Fibrous composite armor, it was relatively easy to replace with standard-grade armor. Despite this, the Crab would be a rare mech to see on the battlefields of the early 31st Century, until production of Star League-spec models would begin once more in the 3050s.
