Shadow Cat M

The Shadow Cat M is a 45-ton striker fielded alongside the Prime configuration, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a jump capability of 180 metres. Where the Prime carries a Gauss Rifle in the right arm and a single ER Medium Laser in the left arm, this configuration mounts a Large Pulse Laser in each arm. It also carries an ER Medium Laser in the left torso and another in the right torso, doubling the Prime's torso-mounted laser. The heat-sink count rises from 10 double to 13 double to handle the closer-range battery. It keeps the low, hard-to-target silhouette of the chassis, and Barcella Beta builds it at its Barcella factory, with production also at Asellus Australis and Irece.
