==Description==
The '''''Shadow Cat III''''' was born from the ''[[Shadow Cat]]'', after [[Clan Nova Cat Touman|Clan Nova Cat's ''touman'']] and facilities were heavily damaged during the [[Second Combine-Dominion War]]. The Clan's scientists took a cue from [[Clan Jade Falcon]]'s ''[[Grand Summoner (Thor II)|Thor II]]'', and removed the ''Shadow Cat's'' fixed [[jump jet]]s to free up mass that would be used mostly for [[pod space]] and an enhancement of the 'Mech's armor coverage.<ref name=RGiCv3p6>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 3'', p. 6 "SHADOW CAT III fluff"</ref>

This expensive OmniMech makes use of weight-saving technologies in the form of an [[endo steel]] internal structure, an [[extralight engine]], and eight tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. The ''Shadow Cat III'' also employs more [[pod space]] than the ''Shadow Cat'' at the expense of [[jump jet]]s, but keeps the [[MASC|Myomer Accelerated Signal Circuitry]] that enables it to move up to 129.6 km/h in bursts.<ref name=RGiCv3p7/>

The Prime configuration of the ''Shadow Cat III'' wields a [[Gauss rifle]], allowing it to handily defeat smaller opponents, often before they can get within range. A pair of [[medium pulse laser]]s back up the rifle.<ref name=RGiCv3p7/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : The first alternate configuration is also potent at long range, but it uses a pair of [[ER large laser]]s to gain that potency. It utilizes two extra [[double heat sink]]s to keep heat levels comfortable and has eight [[improved jump jet]]s for maximum jump capabilities.

*; Alternate Configuration B : This configuration is also a fusion of long-range weaponry with a scouting system. It is armed with four [[ATM 3]] launchers backed by two [[ER medium laser]]s, which are enhanced by a [[targeting computer]]. An [[active probe]] and an [[Angel ECM suite]] round out the variant's electronic warfare suite. Six [[jump jets]] allow it to navigate through difficult terrain. BV (2.0) = 2,183<ref name=RGiCv3p7/>

*; Alternate Configuration C : This configuration departs from the others, opting to carry an an [[LB 20-X AC]] supported by an [[improved heavy large laser]]. It also has a [[supercharger]] to give it the burst of speed needed to close distance with enemies. BV (2.0) = 2,153<ref name=RGiCv3p7/>
