Description
The Shadow Cat II is a heavy variant of the Shadow Cat, developped before the FedCom Civil War, that uses the same design philosophy that resulted in the Mad Cat II and Ryoken II. That is, take a good 'Mech and make one bigger and badder. The Shadow Cat II was first introduced by Clan Jade Falcon and used during their push against the Lyran Alliance during the FedCom Civil War. It's manufacture has spread to others Clans as well, with Clan Wolf known to produce them by the time of the Jihad.
Armament
The Shadow Cat II is, corresponding to Clan philisophy, a long-range able 'mech : its pair of Type X "Short Bow" LRM-10 launchers allow it to cripple an enemy while being able to snipe its foe with its deadly Gauss Rifle.
Variants
The only known variant differs from the original by replacing its "Thunderstroke" Gauss Rifle Mk II by an EMRG "Captain" Series Gauss Rifle, with no significant differences except maintenance issues.
