==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Crucible''''' was introduced during the [[Wolf Empire]]'s drive to [[Terra]]. It is a dedicated defensive asset usable by ''[[solahma]]'' to protect the ''[[Wolf Empire Touman|touman]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s supply lines. Developed from the ''[[Stone Rhino]]'', the 54 km/h max speed and 90 meter jump range allow the ''Crucible'' to keep up with the logistical units it protects. The ''Crucible'' can also be produced in the same [[Keystone]] factory as the ''[[Tomahawk II]]''.<ref name=rg10p10/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Designed to inflict the largest amount of damage in the fastest amount of time, the ''Crucible'' carries a [[Gauss rifle]] and sixteen rounds of ammunition for each cannon in each arm and side torso. These can remove just under four tons of standard armor if all four cannons hit. Though the twelve [[double heat sink|double heat sinks]] are more than enough to sustain the Gauss rifle fire, the additional heat sinks allow the ''Crucible'' pilot to ignore heat from plasma weapons and [[Inferno (Missile)|Inferno]] rounds. A [[Micro Pulse Laser]] is also fitted for anti-infantry operations. Fifteen tons of [[standard armor]] covers the chassis.

*;''Crucible'' 2 : This ''Crucible'' retains the torso mounted Gauss rifles, but each arm carries an [[ER PPC]] and an [[Artemis V FCS]]-enhanced [[LRM-15]] with 240 missiles per launcher. A [[Coolant Pod]] is in the center torso, supplementing the fourteen double heat sinks.

*;''Crucible'' 3 : The standard Gauss rifles have been replaced by [[HAG/20]] cluster-firing gauss weapons. The ''Crucible'' carries six rounds of ammunition for each of the HAGs. Supplementing this firepower is a [[Large Pulse Laser]] in each side torso. To protect against HAG explosions, [[CASE II]] is fitted to each side torso.
