Overview:
    An uncommon variant for an uncommon situation, the Shadow Cat L is used as an urban
    reconaissance 'Mech. Just as the Shadow Cat Prime is capable of finding and then destroying
    targets on the open field, the Shadow Cat L can do the same in close range situations,
    mainly in cities or heavy forest, where long range weapons are less effective.

Capabilities:
    Replacing the Prime's Gauss rifle with an LB20-X gives the Shadow Cat somewhat greater
    damage potential at the cost of range. The paired ER medium lasers remain to give the 'Mech
    weapons after it's depleted its ammo, but they are now the longest range weapons carried.
    The L also retains the Prime's active probe, to let it find hidden enemies.

Deployment:
    Since the Shadow Cat is most common among the Nova Cats, the Shadow Cat L is usually seen in
    use by Nova Cat forces.
