# ORIGIN RECORD
The first guardian recorded by the descent crew is built around an industrial pile driver. Its ram once broke jammed bulkheads; now the access-control system uses it against the C-9.
# BEHAVIOUR
Crusher advances steadily and summons lesser units to occupy the carrier’s mounts while it closes in. Later echoes inherit the same breach pattern but are not confirmed repairs of earlier machines.
# FIELD TACTICS
Prioritise the summoned units only when they threaten the carrier or block sustained fire. Save cannon rounds for the guardian’s large hull, and use Guard before its heavy strike.
