Recognition notes
The Shadow Cat I is a 45-ton striker that fights close-in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a sprint speed of 130 km/h with MASC engaged and a jump range of 180 metres. In place of the Prime configuration's Gauss rifle in the right arm and its ER medium lasers in the left arm and right torso, this configuration carries an Improved Heavy Medium Laser and an ER Medium Pulse Laser in each arm, with a Streak SRM 6 in each torso as well. A targeting computer occupies the left torso where the Prime carries an active probe, and this configuration carries 11 double heat sinks against the Prime's 10. The type keeps a low, hard-to-target silhouette, and is built by Barcella Beta at its Barcella plant, among other sites.
