==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 ''Shugenja''s [[C3 master 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 sink]]s. 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 Laser]]s.

==Variants==
*; SJA-8H : This is an improved version of the ''Shugenja'' introduced during the [[Jihad]].  This variant replaces the XL Fusion Engine with a [[Light Fusion Engine|Light]]. The two Large Lasers are replaced with a pair of [[Light PPCs]]. A [[Guardian ECM Suite]] has been installed to added more protection from more sophisticated weaponry, such as [[Word of Blake]] [[Improved C3 Computer|C3i]] units. To protect from infantry attack, the 'Mech been given anti-infantry pods with a single [[A-Pod]] right leg, and a [[B-Pod]] to protect against [[battle armor]] attacks mounted on the left. Like its parent unit the 'Mech retains the ER PPC, MRM-30 Launcher and the C3 Master Computer.
