Description
The Shogun began production before the Star League fell and eventually was thought to be lost to the Succession Wars. The 'Mech suddenly reappeared when the Wolfs Dragoons showed up and had the Shogun in their forces in sizable numbers. The 'Mech was intended to be used as an urban combat 'Mech where its jumping distance and slow speed makes it able to easily traverse the close confines of a city.
Armament
Though built for close combat the weapons payload on the Shogun is built for long range combat. The 'Mech carries as its primary weapon a Magna Firestar ER PPC and two Coventry Star Fire LRM 15 launchers which allow the 'Mech to engage an enemy very effectively at long ranges. The 'Mech does carry two Thunderstroke SRM 6 launchers for close combat allowing the 'Mech to find any weak spots in an enemy's armor when they do get to close ranges with the Shogun.
Variants
- SHG-2E - An earlier variant of the Shogun the 2E simply carries a PPC in place of the ER PPC. Otherwise the 2E is completely identical tot he 2F model. Ironically because the 2E uses an older PPC model the PPC produces less heat at the cost of a shorter range then the 2F model and the 'Mechs waste heat is easier to manage. BV (1.0) = 1,498
- Shogun C - A complete redesign of the Shogun using Clan technology that is used exclusively by the Wolfs Dragoons mercenary unit the Shogun C is armed with two LRM 20 missile racks with a Artemis IV fire control system for greater missile accuracy. the 'Mech also carries an ER PPC and four Streak SRM 6 launchers giving it a devastating close range damage capability.
