================================================================================================
Overview:
    Designed in 2751 for exclusive use by the esteemed Royal Black Watch of the Star League, the
    CR4-AH Cruach (evoking the Celtic pagan deity Crom Cruach) is fitted with some of the most
    advanced technology the Star League had to offer so as to serve its charge of protecting the
    First Lord. Naturally, the 'Mech died with the League; all units either disappeared, were
    hidden, or were destroyed during the course of the Amaris Civil War and the First Succession
    War, and the factories were personally ordered destroyed by the Usurper as to crush a symbol
    of House Cameron.
    
    In 3015 the 'Mech would experience an unlikely resurrection due to incomplete documentation
    of its design being found in a Star League-era cache hidden on a former Terran Hegemony
    planet, and the Northwind Highlanders sprung to buy exclusive rights to new units. The
    discovery of the Helm Memory Core 18 years later would allow additional documents that
    turned out to be specifications for Cruach components to make sense to a technologically
    destitute Inner Sphere, meaning the original could now be produced for the first time in
    centuries. The Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth, under the FedCom banner, would later
    purchase the ability to also receive units for their elite forces, their production
    outsourced to prestigous companies on their respective capitals.

Capabilities:
    The 80-ton CR4-AH is built on a Hollis Mk. IIIA Endo-Steel chassis that houses a Magna 400
    XL engine, giving it a top speed in line with the average Medium 'Mech despite its weight.
    The internal structure also supports 12 tons of Aldis Plate armor, allowing it to shrug off
    small hits with minimal damage. A Dalban Comline reused from the King Crab's production
    lines was installed as the 'Mech's comms system, while a Dalban HiRez provides targeting and
    tracking capabilities.
    
    A SLDF Model 22-99-c Gauss Rifle installed in the right arm is the primary weapon of the
    Cruach, allowing for pinpoint and hard-hitting shots at range. The rifle's barrel housing is
    reinforced so it can be used as an impromptu melee weapon, and the gun itself is fed by two
    tons of ammunition in the right torso. For close-in, it relies on massed SRM and laser fire.
    The former is provided by four Defiance Sting Streak SRM-2s split between the left and right
    torso fed by two tons of CASE-protected ammunition in the left torso, while the latter is
    supplied by a Ceres Arms Medium Pulse Laser, a Martell Small Pulse Laser, and four RAMTech
    500 Small Lasers. Ten double heat sinks are able to keep the 'Mech cool, even when Alpha
    Striking with all weapons.
    
    The 'Mech overall is regarded as a highly dangerous and mobile brawler capable of dealing
    substantially more damage the closer it gets to a target, while still having good stopping
    power at further distances; a reputation only heightened by its association with the elite
    Royal Black Watch of the age of the First Star League.
    
    DESIGN QUIRKS: Good Reputation (3), Barrel Fist (RA), Non-Standard Parts, Difficult to
    Maintain

Variants:
    CR3-AN: The lowtech version of the Cruach made using incomplete design documents for
    the Northwind Highlanders in 3015.
    CR4-AD: A 3048 variant made by NADI for the Federated Suns' elite forces, namely the
    Avalon Guard and Avalon Hussars.
