Overview:
    One of the oldest and most well known 'Mechs in the Inner Sphere, the Shadow Hawk is a
    staple for many pilots including legendary figures like Grayson Carlyle. As such, it was
    only a natural choice for D&K to use their newly acquired knowledge to turn into one of
    their first omnimech projects. There have been rumors of a much more advanced version
    sporting a red and black paint scheme, which have been hastily dismissed by the company.
    
    Built on an endo steel frame and with 11 tons of standard plating protecting an XL fusion
    engine, the Shadow Hawk has an impressive 26 tons of pod space available. Keeping the speed
    profile of the original, it is a no-frills upgrade over the original model. Additionally,
    due to their expertise working on Battlemech scale turrets, the engineers at D&K Creation
    Studios managed to slightly move the primary mount for the left torso dorsal gun to give it
    more space for directional movement.

Capabilities:
    The PRIME variant of the Shadow Hawk omnimech is honestly very simple when one gets down to
    it. Take the original Shadow Hawk SHD-2H, give it two more jump jets for a total of five,
    and translate it to modern specifications with upgraded technology. In this case, replacing
    the original AC/5 with a Rotary Autocannon/2, the missile launchers with a single MML 7, and
    giving the machine two Medium X-Pulse lasers. The RAC/2 is fed with one ton of ammunition,
    giving it ample logevity, while the MML 7 is fed with two tons total, one of LRM and one of
    SRM, with all three ammo pods being protected with CASE II. To help keep the machine cool
    running, a twelth DHS was mounted in the machine, and to allow the 'mech to get closer to
    the enemy as well as play havoc on their electronic systems, Angel ECM was mounted in the
    right torso.
