================================================================================================
Overview:
Der Schattenkrieger, or 'Shadow Warrior' was created for the purpose of quickly and quietly
( relatively speaking) identifying and engaging targets of similar or lighter weight class.
The design is intended for use in groups of the same model, or in conjunction with other
machines.
Capabilities:
The Schattenkrieger is primarily equipped with a guardian ECM to help avoid prying eyes
while using the Beagle unit to spot and identify opposing mechs or vehicles. It can make use
of spotters to soften targets with the Artemis equipped LRM 10 launcher, or engage directly
with its laser weaponry. The Krieger uses its oversized XL engine to get where it is going
or to get out of trouble fast, and uses jumpjets to make quick escapes if things get out of
hand. Usually one Shattenkrieger will scout ahead while the others pelt identified targets
with LRM fire.
Deployment:
As always, all GZT mechs are first tested through the Stonkin Mechs Inc merc unit, or in the
dueling arenas of Solaris VII. At this time 3rdBattalion 2nd Company, the 'White Fangs' are
the only Stonkin unit using the Schattenkrieger. The unit is fulfilling an ongoing pirate
hunting contract with undisclosed Periphery states. Initial reports are very favorable, and
the Schattenkrieger is expected to be made available to buyers soon.
Variants:
There is a variant in the works the retools the Schattenkrieger into a suberb city fighter.
The large laser is upgraded to the pulse variety, and the LRM launcher it exchanged for a
short range model. Testing has been positive for this variant.
Notable MechWarriors:
A lance of the Schattenkrieger are deployed in an undisclosed location fulfilling an ongoing
pirate hunting contract with Stonkin Mechs Inc. Current tactics being employed usually
involve either one of the mechs, or a quciker smaller scout design going ahead of the rest,
then the remaining mechs engage with LRMs. Certain rocky terrain has also lended it self
well to hide and seek tactics against raiders, who tend to not be as well equipped, and have
difficulty detecting the Guardian equipped units.

Comment:
It's something between a Wyvern and a Phoenix Hawk. The speed marks it as a good scout killer, although catching some of the speed demons is still beyond it's capabilities. The large laser backed by the LRMs should be enough to deal with enemy lights and the armour can keep it safe for a while (for typical scouts it's nigh impregnable), but the problem starts when something with real armament comes around. The guns aren't as good against heavier 'Mechs as they are against scouts and the ammo load is also pretty light. The SHK-1E has to rely on speed and armour to carry it through the fight and with XL engine you shouldn't hesitate to retreat when serious opposition appears. The LRMs can sting, but the laser lacks the range to prevent the enemy from returning fire with far more damage. Some more JJs would be fine and short range weapons could also use an upgrade, but I wouldn't touch the EW suite. Use as intended and probably it will do fine, but the 'Mech certainly isn't good for every situation.

Comment:
Certainly a decent design but I would prefer dropping the small for another jumpjet.
Although beam weapons look awfully short ranged, this is no flaw for a EW and Solaris design. Solaris matches tend to be extremely short ranged affairs so more heat efficient weapons over ERs can be used. So I won't grade it low. Also the low heat generation is also great for Solaris duels.
In all a fine little mech.
