Recognition Notes
The Shadow Cat J is a 45-ton striker configuration, cruising at 65 km/h and reaching 97, with a 180-metre jump capability. Where the Prime carries an ER Medium Laser in the left arm, this configuration mounts an AP Gauss Rifle there, and in place of the Prime's Gauss Rifle in the right arm it fields a HAG/20. A second AP Gauss Rifle sits in the left torso, replacing the ER Medium Laser the Prime carries in the right torso. It shares the Prime's 270 XL fusion engine, endo steel structure, and ferro-fibrous armor, and keeps the same low, hard-to-target silhouette. Barcella Beta builds it, with production also at other sites.
