Description
Designed to be a heavy C3 command 'Mech the Shugenja is built around an Alshain Type Heavy Chi chassis that supports a Vlar 300 XL engine which gives the 'Mech a top speed of 64.8 km/h allowing the Shugenja to keep up with most 'Mechs of its size while sacrificing durability for more free weight. The Shugenjas C3 computer allows it to act as a hub for friendly units equipped with C3 slave units to share targeting data. The Shugenja is well protected with thirteen tons of ferro-fibrous armor. To dissipate heat from its weapons the Shugenja has fifteen double heat sinks. In spite of its advanced weapons and equipment, the Shugenja doesn't carry CASE to protect it from ammunition explosions.
Weapons and Equipment
Intended to keep its enemies at medium to long ranges, the Shugenja is armed with a Lord's Light 2 ER PPC that is capable of striking an enemy at a distance, allowing the Shugenja to snipe at its victims. For just outside medium range to short range, the 'Mech carries a Shigunga MRM-30 launcher and two Diverse Optics Type 30 Large Lasers.
