Description[edit]
The Shadow Cat III was born from the Shadow Cat, after 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 Thor II, and removed the Shadow Cat's fixed jump jets to free up mass that would be used mostly for pod space and an enhancement of the 'Mech's armor coverage.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
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 jets, but keeps the Myomer Accelerated Signal Circuitry that enables it to move up to 129.6 km/h in bursts.[3]
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 lasers back up the rifle.[3]
Alternate Configurations[edit]
- Alternate Configuration A
- The first alternate configuration is also potent at long range, but it uses a pair of ER large lasers to gain that potency. It utilizes two extra double heat sinks to keep heat levels comfortable and has eight improved jump jets for maximum jump capabilities. BV (2.0) = 2,005[3]
- 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 lasers, 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[3]
- 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[3]
