==Overview:==
The Crab was well-known in the Star League era as an excellent medium
raider. Thanks to some of the technical breakthroughs, the Crab is once again
seeing service in the ranks of the Word of Blake, as it seems to have
undergone some rather significant upgrades.
==Capabilities:==
Unlike the original Crab, this new iteration is a shining example of the
Word of Blake's technological edge. By reducing the ferro-fibrous armor to a
lighter composite material, it reduces the bulk enough to allow for an
endo-steel exoskeleton.
The engine was replaced by an XL model, freeing up weight for the large
lasers to be replaced by experimental binary laser cannons (or blazers). The
massive weapons can do double the damage of the large lasers it used to carry,
while only increasing the heat by 50%. The medium and small lasers were
replaced with extended-range variants.
Lastly, the heat sinks were replaced with double-strength freezers, and a
C3i unit was installed to improve coordination with the Blakist units.
==Battle History:==
Unlike most other mechs that are not the Celestial Omnimechs, the new
version of the Crab has been seen in medium Level IIs throughout the Shadow
Division. As an ammo-independent raider, it excels in the terror tactics and
hit and run style of combat that they prefer.
Currently the new Crab can be found in the Shadow Divisions almost
exclusively. However, Precentor St. Jamais was able to acquire some for the
Protectorate Militia, though the defensive utility of the mech is
questionable.
==Variants:==
A few rare variants of the Crab have installed the Void Signature System.
To make room for the equipment, the C3i system is removed in favor of a
Guardian ECM system. Additionally, the light ferro-fibrous armor is replaced
by regular armor to give the cloaking system enough space to function
properly.
==Notable 'Mechs & MechWarriors:==
Phantom Precentor Kafziel: Little is known of this member of the Manei Domini.
His cyberware obscures most of his features, giving him an almost avian
appearance. He pilots his Void-Signature modified Crab with fanatical skill,
and little is known about him except that his devotion to his commander,
Gabriel, is absolute. Some would say it might even supersede his loyalty to
Apollyon and the Word of Blake itself... but no one would dare say that in his
presence.
==Deployment==
The new Blakist Crab battlemechs are currently deployed throughout the
Shadow Divisions, often as battlefield replacements for lost Preta Omnimechs.
A scant few have been seen in the Protectorate Militia, but those are the
exceptions, not the rule.
