Recognition notes
The Shadow Cat II is a 60-ton heavy skirmisher built on a 360 XL fusion engine, cruising at 65 km/h and reaching 97 km/h, with a single jump carrying it 180 metres. A HAG/20 fills the right arm, backed by an LRM 10 in each torso and an ER Medium Laser in the right torso. Endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor keep the weight down, and ten double heat sinks manage the engine's output. The chassis carries a low, hard-to-target silhouette and is built as an easily-serviced design. Olivetti Weaponry produces it at its Sudeten factory.
