==Description==
 
==Description==
Designed in [[Introduction Year::3135]], the '''''Shiro''''' [[BattleMech]] was originally produced for the [[Draconis Combine]]'s armed forces. Named for House Kurita's founder, [[Shiro Kurita]], the ''Shiro'' was made to embody the spirit of ''[[w:Bushido|bushido]]'', the Way of the Warrior, its armor designed to resemble the [[w:Japanese_armour|Samurai armor]] of ancient Japan. When it was first presented to the [[DCMS]], it was ordered only to those who are acclaimed and honor would be granted with the chance to pilot the ''Shiro''.<ref name=TRO:3145DCp45/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Shiro'' can fight at all ranges, with the 'Mech's main weaponry consisting of four [[Shigunga]] C Type [[LRM 10]] Launchers located in its central torso. The launchers use Clan technologies, which allows the 'Mech to fire its missiles at all ranges with 3 tons of ammunition.

Backing up these ranged weapons is a single [[LB-2X]] Autocannon which is found in its left arm actuator. Intended to fight up front with rest of Combine frontline troops, the 'Mech's right arm is fitted with a [[Sword (weapon)|Sword]] which is styled similarly to a [[w:Naginata|''naginata'']] polearm.

Powered by a 375-rated XL Fusion Engine and balanced by an [[XL Gyro]], the 'Mech possesses a modest maximum speed of 75 km/h. 'Mechs are normally faster with such an engine, but this 'Mech is slowed slightly due to its 21 tons of New Samarkand Teppeki [[Hardened Armor]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 45, 103: Shiro - Stats & Capacities</ref>

*;SH-2P : This is a rare variant of the ''Shiro'', which is gifted to individuals by ''[[Gunji-no-Kanrei]]'' [[Matsuhari Toranaga]].
