The Invid Crann was an unmanned Inorganic controlled by the Invid Brain
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
The Crann Inorganics were deployed on Tirol. The mecha were nearly indestructible, but could be shut down by eliminating the Invid Brain. (Robotech II: The Sentinels) The main point of sending Inorganics was to eliminate opposition in the race which the Invid were preparing to attack. (Robotech II: The Sentinels)
The Cranns which is used primarily as a reconnaissance and assault unit. For this reason, the Crann is equipped with a high number of sensor units. The primary and largest sensors are located in the head, lower abdomen, and each hand.
A unique feature of the Crann is that the hands can disconnect themselves from the main body and move along the ground, propelled by the three fingers contained in each. Everything the sensor on the hand sees is transmitted back to the main body, correlated, and then transmitted to the Invid Brain which is controlling the Crann unit.
Crann is designed to observe the enemy, and is not designed for offensive measures. However, the Crann will attack in self-defense, to defend an Invid Brain, or if it is commanded to do so by an Invid Brain, Red Soldier, or the Regent himself.Consequently, the Crann has two main weapons at its disposal, a mounted laser and an energy tongue. The mounted laser is located above the sensor head between the shoulders. The laser is fixed so the Crann must move its entire body to target. Its range is 2000'.
The energy tongue functions as a retractable whip which can unleash a formidable charge. It is located in the receptacle below the head sensor and has a range of 20'. The energy tongue does not tax the power supply of the Crann and is capable of unlimited use.
