Overview:
SHO-1L Shaolin is experimental close-assault mech designed to destroy it's enemies with
devastating physical attacks. Warrior house Hiritsu cooperated with Death Commandos and
Ceres Metals scientists on assembling three Shaolins, the Magnificent Trio. Cooperation on
this level is quite rare, but the design demanded tremendous amount of resources and only
time will prove if it's worth the money.
Capabilities:
Some call it Charger concept brought to it's extreme, SHO-1L is only lightly armed for it's
size. It was manufactured to provide the Death Commandos with mech similar to venerable
Exterminator.
ER large laser, installed deep within the chest, barely fitted under massive 360 class XL
engine, that was manufactured by experimentally adjusting locally produced 375 model, and
two ER medium lasers were added to arms just behind massive wrists bracers to cover wider
area with fire, but with the large laser they make only armament other than mech's physical
attacks.
Shaolin possesses impressive defensive abilities. It's covered from head to foot in new
stealth armor that provides the same protection as standard armor and makes the Shaolin
virtually impossible to hit until it closes. AMS system was installed to swat down the
missiles from the air, but the amount of ammo is very limited, so pilots are instructed to
conserve it until they get close enough to lose protection provided by the stealth
technology. Six powerful jump jets were installed to torso sides to provide additional
mobility,allowing pilot to disengage when needed.
SHO-1L possesses limited sniping ability but it's main strength lies in physical contact
with the enemy, where it can easily kick off leg from any known light mech, or drive one of
it's hardened fists through head armor and cockpit of all mechs. XL engine limits the
endurance of the mech, but it's believed that mech's mobility and defensive equipment will
keep it safe until it fulfills it's mission.
Deployment:
The Magnificent Trio is deployed on special missions with the Death Commandos, but house
Hiritsu may have some limited chance to occasionally borrow one of the mechs, if they didn't
receive something else as payment for their part of resources devoted to the project.

Fast and furios! Very good jumpcapable in-fighter with the potential to do two head-ripping punches or a leg-ripping kick. The weapon-loadout is somewhat weak but on this Mech the Lasers are secondary weaponry anyway. The AMS is a bit risky on such a hot-running Mech: using the lasers and the Stealth-armor (worse if you jump too) can bring this one to ammo-cooking heatlevels very fast. And without a CASE this explosion can blow this very expensive thing to scrap (Ok, even with CASE it´s out of action due to the XL but not a total loss).

I like the instant kill capability on this one. Two 1-in-6 chances to kill _any_ mech is pretty nice. And it moves as fast as possible and should live long enough to get some kills thanks to the heavy stealth armor and AMS. The lack of long-range firepower isn't too big a deal; obviously this is designed to take on the big (and invariably slow) monster assaults and heavies. Sure it has to close to be effective, but it moves fast and jumps- and it isn't meant to be used in Kansas.
The only problem I see is that heat management may be difficult. There are only 3 weapons, and the heat of the AMS and jump jets can combine to make staying at the magical 9 overheat difficult.
This mech has at least a 50-50 shot at taking down a Kodiak or King Crab at point-blank range- not many mechs can say that. It's just as likely to lose a fight aganist a medium fast enough to stay out of punch range. It needs to be teamed up with someone with more 'conventional' firepower.
