Crustacia
The Crustacia is a wanzer model that has appeared only in Front Mission 5: Scars of the War. It is produced by Basalt Corp. of E.C. Italy.
Overview[]
Crustacia and its variants are notable for their high output yet above-average evasion and mobility, abilities that tend to be missing in high-output wanzers. Therefore, it was suggested to be capable of the role of Mechanics and Jammers, perhaps even dual-role. However, in the game, it was never actually seen in battles nor purchasable in wanzer shops. Thus, it is currently not clear regarding how it is deployed by military units, but it is speculated that some pilots equip their wanzers with Crustacia body for the sake of its high output.
It also has two known branch series, which are named Cancer and Carapace respectively.
