==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Shamash reconnaissance vehicle''' began production by [[Clan Blood Spirit]] in the late [[twenty-ninth century]] following the declining fortunes of that [[Clan]] as a cheaper replacement for the [[Asshur]]. The Shamash is faster and cheaper, weighing in at almost half of the Asshur, while the 60-rated fusion engine can propel it up to 216 km/h. Interestingly, the small size of the Shamash was also an advantage as it requires only one crew member to operate. This enables a quick response time, but, perhaps more importantly, this allows the Shamash's pilot to claim solo glory in the same manner as a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]].<ref name=TRO:3060p34f/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The Shamash carries four [[Series 1]] [[ER Small Laser]]s, some of the smallest weapons available to the Clans at the time. Nonetheless, the concentrated firepower of all four is still threatening to a [[BattleMech]]. These lasers are also mounted in a turret, giving them the maximum possible field of fire.<ref name=TRO:3060p34f/>

*;Flamer : This variant of the Shamash was produced during the [[Jihad]] and was equipped with [[Technology Rating|Advanced Technology]] weaponry. Removing the lasers, the vehicle adds a pair of [[ER Flamer|Extended-Range Flamers]] mounted in its turret. BV (2.0) = 228<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 56</ref>
