The Twentieth Royal [[CAAN Regiment|CAAN Marine Regiment]] was formed on [[Terra|Titan]] in order to fight underwater, on floating cities, and underground. Shortly before their first [[SLDF]] deployment in [[2582]] a ''[[Locust]]'' assigned to the unit broke the land speed record, using Titan's low gravity to hit a top speed of 1,005 km/h. The 'Mech's legs were destroyed, but this record would stand well into the [[thirty-first century]].<ref name=er2750p58>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 58</ref>
