History
The Nightshade is a Federated Commonwealth Conventional Fighter used by both sides of the FedCom Civil War. In the field, its high maneuverability does not make up for its weak armor and light armament; as a result, these fighters have quite high casualty rates.
Armament
The Nightshade is armed with only two SRM 2s.[1]
Variants
No known variants of the Nightshade exist.
Canonicity
Being mentioned only in an apocryphal source (the video game MechWarrior 4), the Nightshade must consequentially be considered apocryphal as well.
