==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Shogun''''' began production before the [[Star League]] fell and eventually was thought to be lost to the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. The 'Mech suddenly reappeared when [[Wolf's Dragoons]] showed up in [[Reintroduction Year::3005]], bringing a sizable number of ''Shogun''s with them. The 'Mech was intended to be used as an urban combat 'Mech where its jumping distance and slow speed makes it able to easily traverse the close confines of a city. Though the Dragoons brought ''Shogun''s with them from the [[Clan Homeworlds]], they could not reach a deal with any manufacturer that met their desires, so by [[3068]] the total count of the 'Mech in the [[Inner Sphere]] was reduced to two, both of which were in the hands of [[Wannamaker's Widowmakers]], taken as salvage from the Dragoons.

==Weapons and Equipment==
Though built for close combat, the weapons payload on the ''Shogun'' is built for long range combat. The 'Mech carries as its primary weapon a [[Magna Firestar]] [[ER PPC]] and two [[Coventry Star Fire]] [[LRM-15]] launchers which allow the 'Mech to engage an enemy very effectively at long ranges. The 'Mech does carry two [[Thunderstroke]] [[SRM-6]] launchers for close combat, allowing the 'Mech to find any weak spots in an enemy's armor when they do get to close ranges with the ''Shogun''.

*; SHG-2E : Downgraded by the Dragoons to [[BattleTech eras|Succession Wars era]] technology the ''2E'' simply carries a [[Magna Hellstar]] [[PPC]] in place of the ER PPC. Otherwise, the ''2E'' is completely identical to the ''2F'' model. Ironically, because the ''2E'' uses an older PPC model, the PPC produces less heat at the cost of a shorter range than the ''2F'' model, making the 'Mech's waste heat easier to manage.<ref name=TRSWp164f /> BV (1.0) = 1,498<ref>''Combat Operations'', p. 136</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,823<ref>''Master Unit List: Battle Values'', p. 149</ref>

*; SHG-2H : The original [[Introduction Year::2777]] ''Shogun'' model is similar to the 3050's era SHG-2F, adding [[Artemis IV]] fire control systems to the LRM racks. The SRM-6 racks are replaced with four [[Defiance (SSRM-2)|Defiance]] [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers, which share a single ton of ammunition. A head-mounted [[Blankenburg (MPL)|Blankenburg]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]] and a [[Magna Mk II]] [[medium laser]] in the center torso rounds out the weapons. [[Armorscale]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor and [[CASE]] protect the 'Mech. BV (2.0) = 2,087<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike'', p. 49</ref>

==Notes==
* According to the ''[[Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)|Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook]]'', the ''Shogun'' was the heaviest jump-capable 'Mech produced until the introduction of the ''[[Marauder II]]''.<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)'', p. 110, "SHG-2E Shogun", the ''Shogun'' is the heaviest 'Mech to carry jump jets</ref> This is contradicted in many other sources, particularly in the case of the ''[[Highlander]]''.
