	== Description ==		== Description ==
−	The '''''Shockwave''''' was created by the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]] in the years after the [[Jihad]]. Its high top speed, strong armor, and powerful weapons make it a popular choice around the Inner Sphere. Mobile and heavily-armed for a 50-ton [['Mech]], the ''Shockwave'' can deliver a withering barrage and has the heat-sinks to keep it up almost indefinitely. The use of standard armor and commonly employed weapons allows the ''Shockwave'' to be used on nearly any battlefield. This popularity and ease of maintenance allowed Earthwerks-FWL to export it to many buyers across the [[Inner Sphere]], bringing much-needed capital into their accounts.<ref name="TRO:3085p80+"/>	+	The '''''Shockwave''''' was created by the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]] in the years after the [[Jihad]].

−	The ''Shockwave'' is geared primarily for long-range attacks. The combination of its [[Artemis IV FCS]]-enhanced [[LRM-10#Zeus|Zeus]] [[LRM-10]] launcher and [[Martell (ERLL)|Martell]] [[ER large laser]] provide effective firepower at long range, supplemented by an [[Imperator (RAC 5)|Imperator]] [[RAC/5]] for devastating firepower should opposing units close in. The only drawback to this weapon configuration is the 'Mech's heavy reliance on ammunition; if the one ton ammo bays for each weapon run dry, the ''Shockwave'' is left with only a single laser to defend itself.<ref name="TRO:3085p80+"/>	+	The 'Mech is geared for long-range attacks.
