================================================================================================
Overview:
    Shadow Beast 00 Prototype designed by Anderson Technical as a testbed for new super charged
    engine technology. The idea was to solve the maneuverability issues of assault class
    juggernauts while persevering their durability. The testbed wasn't intended for combat,
    although, two medium pulse lasers were mounted for testing the practicality firing weapons
    at full speed. A hatchet weapon was later added after testing in consideration of the
    viability of a purely melee focused design.

Capabilities:
    The extreme speed and maneuverability of the design for it's tonnage required fully custom
    built targeting and computer systems to compensate. Initially, advanced cockpit control
    systems were considered for the design but due procurement issues a two pilot system was
    implemented to control the mech. All test were successful, the mech preformed with great
    speed and strength despite the awkward control scheme. Although the commercial viability of
    the technology is questionable given the sheer cost of development.

Deployment:
    No deployment strategy was considered for the SWB-00 testbed. Although, it would likely
    preform well in it's theorize role as a front line juggernaut in small scale skirmishes.
    Even with it's lack of direct firepower.
