Overview:
Factory changeovers to incorporate Star League technology onto existing designs often give
the illusion of offering something for nothing. Many prototypes emerge with enhanced
capabilities while giving up some small but critical item. That is not the case with the
new Shadow Hawk SHD-5M. This model does, indeed, have enhanced capabilities, but there
seems to be no loss of general combat efficiency.
Free Worlds League designers combined Endo Steel internal structure and the excellent Hermes
275 XL engine to devote more weight to weapons and other equipment. While two heat sinks
were removed, all of the new models use freeezers, thus keeping the 'Mech cool-running. The
enhanced capabilities are impressive. An Imperator Ultra-5 Autocannon replaces the old
model, and a Hovertec Streak SRM-2 Pod replaces the old Holly rack, improving ammo
efficiency. Additional jump jets increase the Shadow Hawk's jump range to 150 meters, and
an extra half ton of armor protects the torso, arms, and legs.
Though the Earthwerks factory on Calloway VI is the only manufacturer of the Shadow Hawk in
the Inner Sphere, Majesty Metals and Manufacturing on Duncanshire in the Magistracy of
Canopus still produces the old SHD-2H design. The Federated Commonwealth has recently been
purchasing most of these, reportedly modifying them and sending them to new march militia or
reselling them to mercenary units. The standard modification adds a medium laser and
replaces the old Holly SRM-2 with two Federated SuperStreak Dual-SRM Launchers.
