================================================================================================
Overview:
    Designed by the SLDF during the Amaris Coup for garrison units in the Periphery and for
    urban assault in the pending war, the Shadowhawk was designed to be logistically low drag,
    easy to maintain and requiring little resupply.  Using low tech locally sourced components
    from repurposed Periphery (Magistracy and Rim Worlds) factories, it was designed to free up
    more potent units for the main war, and to be expended against heavy fixed defenses.

Capabilities:
    Average speed for a medium mech, well armoured, and equipped with all energy weapons the
    Shadowhawk is a threat at all ranges with its torso mounted Parti Kill PPC, with paired
    medium lasers used to finish off enemies at closer range and a flamer for anti infantry or
    area denial operations.

Deployment:
    Deployed mostly through the Magestry of Canopus, it is also a major trade item with the
    Taurian Concordat, Capellan Confederation, and Free World's League who purchase it in low
    but steady numbers.

Variants:
    Two common variants exist, the L version replaces the right arm flamer for a second medium
    laser and the C version replaces the right arm flamer with a heat sink.  Both are more
    commonly seen in mercenary formations than Magestracy house units.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Babs (Barbie) Cunningham, famed for her Solaris career and popular commentator on all things
    Periphery with her SHD-MCL "Pretty Boy"
    
    Xiang Cho of House Dai Dai Chi in his standard variant called "Hole Card", who famously
    killed General Mad Dog Mathis in his Cyclops at the 7th battle of Warlock.
