contents Let $G$ be a finitely generated virtually abelian group. We show that the Hirsch length, $h(G)$, is equal to the nuclear dimension of its group $C^*$-algebra, $\dim_{nuc}(C^*(G))$. We then specialize our attention to a generalization of crystallographic groups dubbed \textit{crystal-like}. We demonstrate that in this scenario a \textit{point group} is well defined and the order of this point group is preserved by $C^*$-isomorphism. We close by using these tools to demonstrate that crystallographic (as a group property) is preserved by $C^*$-isomorphism. These three tools combine to prove that $2D$ crystallographic groups are $C^*$-superrigid.
