Recognition notes
The Shadow Cat B is a 45-ton medium that fights at long range, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a MASC-boosted sprint of 130 km/h when engaged. Where the Prime configuration carries a Gauss rifle in the right arm and a single ER medium laser split between the left arm and right torso, this configuration fields an LRM 15 and an ER medium laser in each arm, both arms fitted with an Artemis IV fire-control system. An ECM suite sits in the left torso in place of the Prime's active probe, which here is relocated to the right torso, and the MASC in the center torso carries over. The type keeps the low, hard-to-target silhouette of the chassis, and Barcella Beta builds it at its Barcella works among other sites.
