Recognition notes
The Shadow Cat TC is a 45-ton scout that fights close-in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a 180-meter jump. Where the Prime configuration mounts a Gauss Rifle in the right arm, this configuration carries an LB 10-X AC in the same location, and where the Prime fields an ER Medium Laser in the left arm, this configuration carries a Small Pulse Laser there instead. A Small Pulse Laser sits in the right torso in place of the Prime's ER Medium Laser, and an SRM 4 sits in the left torso. Both configurations keep a low, hard-to-target silhouette. Barcella Beta builds it at its Barcella works.
