Recognition notes

The Shadow Cat III Prime is a 45-ton striker built on a 270 XL fusion engine, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97; with MASC engaged it can sprint to 130 km/h. A Gauss rifle sits in the left arm, and a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers share the right arm. Ferro-fibrous armor covers an endo steel frame, and the machine carries a low, hard-to-target silhouette. Barcella Beta builds it at Irece.
