Shadow Hawk LAM SHD-X2

The SHD-X2 is a 55-ton sniper, a 2684 rework of the 2680 SHD-X1 that trades reach for punch. In place of the AC/2 in the left torso it carries an ER Large Laser, while the medium laser in the right arm and the LRM 5 in the right torso carry over from the SHD-X1. A lighter 220 fusion engine replaces the base model's 275, dropping cruising speed from 54 to 43 km/h and top speed from 86 to 65 km/h, though its jump range grows from 90 to 120 metres. Ten double heat sinks replace the SHD-X1's ten single sinks, and a bomb bay is fitted in the left torso. Allied Aerospace Inc. builds the type at Pollux.
