Shadow Hawk SHD-7H

The SHD-7H is a 55-ton skirmisher, a 3101 rebuild of the 2467 SHD-1R sniper variant that carries five tons more mass. Where the SHD-1R paired a Medium Laser with an AC/5, this version swaps in an ER Medium Laser in the right arm and an LB 10-X AC in the left torso, and adds an Enhanced LRM 5 in the right torso and an SRM 2 in the head. A 275 light fusion engine replaces the old 240 fusion plant, lifting cruising speed from 43 to 54 km/h and top speed from 65 to 86 km/h, while jump range grows from 90 to 150 metres. Endo steel structure and standard armor replace the SHD-1R's standard structure and primitive plating, and ten double heat sinks stand in place of the original's ten single sinks. CASE II now lines the right torso, and the type still shows reinforced battle fists on both arms and the same rugged, field-serviceable frame. Majesty Metals and Manufacturing builds it at Dunianshire, with production also running at other sites.
