Trying to be straight in a crooked Galaxy
The Crusher
Image Source: Hasbro, Universal Studios
Intent: To create a droid/drone capable of literally crushing your foes
Development Thread: NA
Manufacturer: Arakyd Industries
Model: NA
Affiliation: Red Ravens/Open Market
Modularity: Yes, different side cannons.
Production: Minor
Material: Durasteel isotope 5
Classification: Autonomous vehicle
Role: Anti infantry/vehicle autonomous vehicle
Height: 5 meters
Length: 5 meters
Width: 4 meters
Weight: 4.5 metric tons
Minimum Crew: 0 (1 remote controlled operator)
Optimal Crew: 0
Propulsion: Track
Top Speed: 128 KPH
Armaments: can be outfitted with only two of the following (one on each side)
• Blaster Cannon 400 meter range
• Missile Launcher (one shot each) 600 meter range
• Ion Cannon 300 meter range
(Weapons are not modular nor replaceable during battle. They can be swapped out, the ones you choose are the ones you stick with)
Firing arc: 20° aka a straight line
Description:
In a attempt to create a drone capable of crushing front line opposition flat Arakyd industries has created The Crusher, a single wheel droid equipped with two cannons. This wrecking ball of a drone has one simple objective, crush and blow up everything in it's path. It does so by being a very big and very heavy chunk of durasteel that rolls at speeds up to 128 KPH.
The large drone operates on a standard reactor that can be compared to such as this there's nothing special about it besides it running on isotope 5. For propulsion the engine powers two heavy industrial mechanical gyros (one on each side) in turn propel the mounted track. The isotope 5 being what gives the large drone it's explosive speeds. The drone also can come equipped with two side mounted weapons, that are fired line of sight in a straight line. however they are not very accurate. The drone is primarily made for crushing and most of it's firing will be on the go, whether it is chasing someone down or firing at a target before ramming into it.
The Crusher can take damage from small arms fire such as blasters but larger blaster cannons and rockets can destroy it rather easily along with lightsabers. It can easily crush infantry, speeders, and light armored vehicles. It can knock over and proceed to crush smaller walkers such as ATSTs and the like. But when it comes to larger walkers and (ATATs) and heavy tanks the droid can do little to nothing against them besides fire their ion cannons or rockets.
Using a wireless signal connected to a data pad or logger the crusher is controlled remotely and is susceptible to Jammers cutting off the signal or slicers hacking into it.
But there are drawbacks to this machine. Transporting it is an absolute pain, it is heavy, and large and unruly and can only be used outside unless you wish to demolish the building you are in. It has no defenses against ion attacks or EMPs. It's weak against heavy weapons and also can not make sharp turns, a sharp turn will cause it to fall over onto it's side and become useless. And as a fundamental problem with all drones it can be sliced into or have it's signal jammed.
All and all though the crusher is a great drone for clearing front line engagements. It is strong, robust, and powerful.
