Recognition notes
The Shadow Cat III B is a 45-ton striker built on the same 270 XL fusion engine as the Prime, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a sprint speed of 130 km/h when MASC is engaged. Where the Prime mounts a Gauss Rifle in the left arm, this configuration carries an ER Medium Laser and a pair of ATM 3 racks there instead, and where the Prime's right arm carries two Medium Pulse Lasers, this configuration fields an ER Medium Laser with another pair of ATM 3 racks in its place. It also carries an Angel ECM suite in the left torso, and both an active probe and a targeting computer in the right torso, and a jump jet system gives it a 180-meter jump range. The type keeps the low, hard-to-target silhouette of the chassis, and is built by Barcella Beta at its Irece plant.
