Combining high speed and maneuverability with heavy armor and a large transport bay, the Crane proved effective at carrying soldiers and supplies over difficult terrain. It was often found in airmobile battalions and the [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s deep-insertion teams, and was commonly used in emergency response and recovery as well.<ref name=TRO3145p42/><ref name=DADossiers165>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 165: "Jaquelin Pejiko"</ref> + Debuting in [[3128]], the ''Crane Heavy Transport'' was [[Michaelson Heavy Industries]] latest transport [[VTOL]].

It can reach a top speed of 120 km/h, and seven tons of armor provides protection from heavy weapons. Lightly armed, the Crane relies on four ScatterGun [[Machine Gun]]s mounted in two [[Sponson Turret]]s for protection. These are provided with a half-ton of ammunition. These machine guns can hold back conventional infantry, but the Crane is ultimately not meant to engage in combat.<ref name=TRO3145p42/>+ Lightly armed, the Crane relies on four ScatterGun [[Light Machine Gun]]s spread out in locations across its hull. ==Variants== ==Variants== − No known variants of the Crane are known to exist. + No known variants of the ''Crane'' are known to exist. − − ==Gallery== − <gallery> − Image:MHI Crane Heavy Transport.jpg|[[MechWarrior: Dark Age]] Crane Heavy Transport − </gallery> ==References== ==References== <references /> <references /> + [http://cf.sarna.net/docs/mwda_dossiers/death_from_above_20.pdf MechWarrior: Dark Age's Dossier of Jaquelin Pajiko from Death from Above release] − ==Bibliography==+ [[Category:Combat Vehicles]][[Category:VTOLs]][[Category:Light Combat Vehicles]][[Category:Transport Combat Vehicles]][[Category:Republic of the Sphere Combat Vehicles]][[Category:Dark Age Vehicles]] − * ''[[MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards]]'' − * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145]]'' − * ''[[Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged]]'' − − [[Category:Combat Vehicles]] − [[Category:VTOLs]] − [[Category:Light Combat Vehicles]] − [[Category:Transport Combat Vehicles]] − [[Category:Republic of the Sphere Combat Vehicles]]
