Based on the ''[[Raven]]'' [[BattleMech]], the '''''Sha Yu''''', or "Shark", is one of the first 'Mechs to incorporate the [[Stealth Armor]] developed by the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The ''Sha Yu'' is built on a lightweight Hellespont Type T [[Endo Steel]] and is powered by a VOX 280 [[XL engine]] that gives the ''Sha Yu'' an impressive top speed of 118.8 km/h. The ''Sha Yu'' is protected by six and a half tons of Hellespont Lite Stealth Armor, making the 'Mech extremely difficult to hit. The ''Sha Yu'' also carries a Guardian [[ECM Suite]] as part of its stealth armor in order to protect itself from enemy electronic warfare systems.<ref name="TRO:3067p60+"/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==
The ''Sha Yu'' is built on a lightweight [[Hellespont Type T]] [[endo steel]] chassis and is powered by a [[VOX 280 XL]] [[extralight engine]] that gives it an impressive top speed of 118.8 km/h. Protection is provided by six and a half tons of [[Hellespont Lite]] [[stealth armor]], making the 'Mech extremely difficult to hit. The ''Sha Yu'' also carries a [[Guardian ECM suite]] as part of its stealth armor in order to protect itself from enemy electronic warfare systems.<ref name="TRO:3067p60+"/>
+
The ''Sha Yu'' is armed with a basic, yet effective, energy weapons based payload. For long range combat, the 'Mech has two Martell [[ER Large Laser]]s, providing good long range firepower. These are backed up by a pair of Diverse Optics Type [[ER Medium Laser]]s for close combat. Finally, for added lethality, the ''Sha Yu'' carries a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] target designator allowing it to call in accurate [[Arrow IV]] artillery missile attacks on a target.<ref name="TRO:3067p60+"/>

*; SYU-4B : Modified for close range brawling and developed in [[Introduction Year::3065]],<ref name="MUL2"/> the 4B variant of the ''Sha Yu'' completely reconfigures the 'Mech to optimize it for use as a brawler in a C3 lance. The [[ER large laser]]s have been dropped in favor of a single [[LRM-5]] launcher for long-range sparring, supported by three [[medium pulse laser]]s for close combat; the two ER medium lasers are retained. Two tons of armor has been added. A [[C3 slave]] unit replaces the TAG, allowing it to be used in C3 lances.<ref name=TRJp76f /> BV (1.0) = 962;<ref name="COp123"/> BV (2.0) = 1,348<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 92</ref><ref name="MUL2">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/5027/sha-yu-syu-4b/ MUL online entry for the Sha Yu SYU-4B variant]''</ref>
