Recognition notes
The Shadow Cat III A is a 45-ton medium in a sniper role, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out at 97, with a MASC-boosted sprint of 130 km/h. Where the Prime configuration carries a Gauss Rifle in the left arm and a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers in the right, this configuration fields an ER Large Laser in each arm. It also carries jump jets giving it a 240-metre jump range, and its heat-sink count rises to 13 double units from the Prime's 10. Both configurations share the 270 XL fusion engine, ferro-fibrous armor, and the MASC unit in the center torso, along with the low, hard-to-target silhouette common to the chassis. Barcella Beta builds it at Irece.
