CRD-3Vx Crusader History: In 2649, the Star League Quartermaster’s Office commissioned a new heavy close assault BattleMech to serve in Royal Brigades of the massive SLDF. Kallon Industries responded that same year with their 65-ton CRD-2R Crusader. Built on a lightweight Endo-Steel chasis, the -2R was armed with a two Magna Longbow LRM-15s enhanced with the Artemis IV fire control system. For close range combat, the -2R carried four Phoenix Streak SRM-2s along with a pair of Intek medium lasers. Ten double heatsinks, a pair of M100 machine guns, and a full twelve tons of armor completed the potent package. Both torsos are also built with CASE to protect against ammunition explosions. The ‘Mech would go on to prove itself an extremely versatile platform, capable of handling missions from long-range fire support to close assault and anti-aircraft operations. Due to its operational success within the Royal Divisions of the SLDF, Kallon Industries manufactured a version without the restricted technology for sale to the Successor States in 2752. At the same time, Kallon Industries licensed the new downgraded design, the CRD-3R, to Brigadier Corporation who began building an assembly line on Oliver to manufacture the popular design. The -3R lacks the Endo-Steel chassis, Artemis IV FCS, CASE, and Streak missiles system of the original. Retaining the Magna Longbow LRM-15s, the -3R carries a pair of Harpoon-6 SRM Launchers in addition to the two medium lasers and machine guns. The resulting ‘Mechs were snapped up as quickly as they could be made by hungry Successor Lords eager to increase the size and potency of their private armies. Production of the -2R would cease shortly after the fall of the Star League. Over the intervening years, the Crusader has shown itself to be an incredibly reliable and easy to maintain BattleMech. Combined with its best-in-class armor protection, many Crusaders have survived decades, even centuries, on the battlefields of the Inner Sphere. During the time a number of additional variants have appeared. Perhaps the most radical departure, the CRD-3L, produced out of Nanking in the Capellan Confederation, was introduced just one year after the -3R. The -3L downgrades both missiles racks in order to make space for four GM JetStar jump jets, giving the -3L a jump capacity of 120 meters. The -3D version, first seen in 2756, marked the first attempt to improve the -3R’s ability to handle heat. Exchanging the Harpoon-6 racks for Federated Four Shots and removing the machine guns allowed for the installation of four additional heat sinks. The -3K version, released in 2765, took it one step further. Downgrading the Magna Longbows to LRM-10s as well as removing the machines guns, made space for six more heat sinks, giving the -3K sixteen heat sinks in total. Notable ‘Mech and MechWarriors: Major Ting Shan During bitter fighting against the Second Orloff Grenadiers on Claybrooke, Major Ting Shan’s CRD-3L was seriously damaged by a Marik BattleMaster. By the end of the Second Succession War, Major Shan and the prestigious Red Lancers where forced to surrender the planet to the Free Worlds League under continued pressure from the seemingly endless supply of Marik assault ‘Mechs. During the rest and refit period following their defeat, Major Shan had the Capellan engineers make a number of changes to what remained of his -3L Crusader. As it turned out, Major Shan’s Crusader had undergone a previous refit at some point in the past. Much to the engineers surprise, they discovered the chest portion of Major Shan’s ‘Mech was built from Endo-Steel, indicating it had originally been a “Royal” -2R version. The limbs and head all used standard internal structure. Having suffered from serious overheating problems during the failed defense of Claybrooke, Shan had the machine guns removed in favor of mounting two 121 additional heat sinks. And since both legs had to be rebuilt, he also had the engineers shift the SRM-6 racks from the hips up into the left and right torso. Both medium lasers were moved into torso as well, freeing up both hands for physical attacks. The most radical request, however, was the inclusion of a Supercharger into the Magna 260 power plant. This boosts the ‘Mechs top speed to 86.4 kph, albeit only for short amounts of time. These changes transform his Crusader into a formidable physical brawler, one also capable of either providing long-range fire support or even covering its own advance against the enemy. Between the Supercharger and the jump jets, this ‘Mech can get to exactly where it wants, regardless of terrain, with frightening speed for such a heavily armed and armored machine. Currently stationed on Calseraigne, just across the border from the Free Worlds League, Major Shan is anxiously awaiting the opportunity to test his new Crusader against the forces of the FWLM once more.
