================================================================================================
Overview:
    Designed by Corsara Weaponries to fill a gap in their 'Crab' line of Battlemechs, the 75-ton
    Rock Crab joins the Hermit Crab, Crab, and King Crab 'mechs also produced by the company.

Capabilities:
    Mounting two PPCs, two medium lasers, two small lasers, and an AMS system together with a
    Guardian ECM suite, the Rock Crab is well suited to giving supporting fire to the Hermit and
    Crab mechs as they range ahead, but providing ECM and AMS cover to the larger King Crab.

Deployment:
    Initially purchased by the Lyran Commonwealth in small numbers for testing, the RCB-15 was
    warmly received and a larger order was made for some 50 examples to be distributed to Lyran
    units that fielded the King Crab, as support assets. Following this sales success, Corsara
    also managed to make sales to the Marik Militia and, in small, single-digit batches, to
    Periphery states.

Variants:
    The RCB-15J loses the AMS and ECM, as well as some of its armour, in favour of mounting jump
    jets, increasing its mobility and enabling it to fire its twin PPCs from elevated positions.
