==Description==
The '''''Star Crusader''''' is an assault [[OmniMech]] developed by the [[Scorpion Empire]] based off of [[Word of Blake|Blakist]] ''[[Grand Crusader]]'' schematics found on the world [[Braunschweig]].  While the ''Star Crusader'' visually appears similar to its progenitor, it is constructed entirely from ClanTech.  The cavernous torso bays are retained, and they house the ''Star Crusader'''s primary weapons.  Durable and proven technology was used in an effort to avoid stressing the Scorpion's supply chains.<ref name=RG23p10>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 23'', p. 10</ref>  Its 42.5 tons of [[OmniPod]] space has given this powerful assault 'Mech a home in the Scorpion's frontline forces. Alongside the ''Nexus''-derived ''[[Star Python]]'', the adoption of the Mech in spite of its Blakist origins demonstrate the Clan's pragmatism on using available resources to stave off any existential threat from the Clan Homeworlds.

==Weapons and Equipment==
Clocking in at a respectable 64 km/h, the Primary Configuration is an agile assault 'Mech designed to engage enemies at range.  Dual [[ER Large Laser]]s augmented by an advanced [[Targeting Computer]] along with twin [[Streak LRM-20]] racks give the ''Star Crusader'' accurate long-range firepower. Two [[ER medium laser]]s provide respectable back-up weaponry should the enemy close into shorter ranges.  An [[anti-missile system]] defends against return missile fire, while [[CASE II]] protects the missile bays.  [[Jump jet]]s allow the assault 'Mech to find firing perches or to maneuver around challenging terrain.  <ref name=RG23p11/>

*;Alternate Configuration A : A brawler, the A's primary weaponry is its agility.  Six [[improved jump jet]]s give this configuration impressive maneuverability. An [[ER PPC]] and [[Gauss rifle]] allow the A Configuration to exploit the enemy's flanks, while twin [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and a [[Streak SRM-6]] pack provide accurate close-range firepower.  BV (2.0) = 2,904<ref name=RG23p11/>
