================================================================================================
Overview:
    The SHD-1D Shadow is a Deep-Strike Advanced Recon mech. It is jam packed with high-tech
    equipment, ranging from Star-League era Stealth armor to a iC3 computer. This 'mech is
    produced in very limited numbers by Luthien Arms from an stolen stealth armor shipment that
    'disappeared' from the Chaos march (It was carried in a Mule class DropShip, an estimated
    5,000 tons was stolen by the DCMS, as it was all they could carry before an unmarked ship,
    rumored to be FedCom, scared them away and made away with an additional 5,00 tons...) and
    put to work on a mech.
    
    
    
    The Shadow is by all means a technological marvel. It uses the most advanced construction
    materials to date, and has an array of electronic warfare capacities that beat that of the
    Raven's. A 240XL engine is imported from several locations. The Shadow has a rather stocky
    appearance from the bulkiness of the Stealth Armor and Endo Steel along with various parts
    jammed in its frame, leaving not much space to spare.

Capabilities:
    The SHD-1D Shadow boosts an impressive electronic suit. Its ECM Countermeasure and Stealth
    Armor makes it suited to disrupting enemy electronic gear while being incredibly difficult
    to detect and/or hit, making it useful for recon. Its Beagle Active Probe allows it to flush
    out the hidden, and a TAG allows it to call in support to do serious damage to the target,
    while its 7 tons of Stealth Armor provides protection. The iC3 network enforces its roll as
    a spotter by linking it to a nearby network.
    
    
    
    The Shadow's 240XL reactor allows it to reach speeds of 127KPH, making it even harder to
    hit. 3 ER Medium Lasers allow it a moderate firepower, but fairly disappointing for a design
    this size. However, this mech's forte is in electronic warfare, not direct slugfest, but it
    can be a deadly fighter in a pinch, with its electronic protection and small battery of
    lasers.

Deployment:
    The SHD-1D Shadow is scattered in units with a combination of high loyaltay to the DCMS and
    skill in a recon mech.
