{{Mech Description
|Description=Mech first developed for the Star League in 2719. This 50 ton Mech fought through the Succession Wars and became a premiere medium class laser boat.
|Strengths=A completely laser mech, the crab is a rare sight on the field of battle and has great tactical advantage for any head long assault team. Best used as a humper or medium range assaulter, multiple heavy weapons are it's best outload for hit-and-run strikes; it's primary means of attack.
|Weaknesses=Overheating is obviously a problem but this can be fixed by sacrificing some firepower for a coolant pack. Another is armour. This is probably the biggest concern a pilot outfitting this mech would have. Any weapon powerful enough to have any strategic effect would take up a lot of weight that could be used for armour or heat sinks.
