Shadow Cat E

The Shadow Cat E is a 45-ton striker that fights at medium 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 mounts a Gauss Rifle in the right arm and ER Medium Lasers in the left arm and right torso, this configuration carries an Improved Heavy Large Laser in the right arm and a second in the left torso. A coolant pod sits in the right torso in place of the Prime's active probe, while MASC remains in the center torso. It runs 17 double heat sinks against the Prime's 10, and shares the low, hard-to-target silhouette common to the chassis. Barcella Beta builds it at Barcella, with additional production at Asellus Australis and Irece.
