Based on the [[Raven]] [[BattleMech]], the ''Sha Yu'', or "Shark", is one of the first 'Mechs to incorporate the new [[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.

Description[edit]

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.[5]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

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.[5]

The Sha Yu is armed with a basic, yet effective, energy weapons based payload. The 'Mech has two Martell ER large lasers for long range combat, backed up by a pair of Diverse Optics ER medium lasers for close combat. Finally, for added lethality, the Sha Yu carries a TAG target designator allowing it to call in accurate Arrow IV artillery missile attacks on a target.[5]

Variants[edit]

  • SYU-4B 
    Modified for close range brawling and developed in 3065,[6] 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 lasers have been dropped in favor of a single LRM-5 launcher for long-range sparring, supported by three medium pulse lasers 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.[1] BV (1.0) = 962;[3] BV (2.0) = 1,348[7][6]

Custom Variants[edit]
