================================================================================================
Overview:
    The SHD-3Hβ was a fairly straightforward update to the -2Hβ that was too extensive to be
    offered as an upgrade kit. A -2Hβ could be sent back to RSE facilities to be retrofit into
    a -3Hβ but the process was very laborious.
    
    The creation of the -3Hβ started as a kit to update the -2Hβ and make it C3-enabled. The
    project soon escalated into an updated variant.

Capabilities:
    The SHD-3Hβ offers very similar function to the -2Hβ, albeit with slightly less armour.
    The -3Hβ packs a Streak 4 instead of a pair of Streak 2s, a C3 Slave, an XL gyro, and the
    arm lasers are upgraded to ER variants by default.

Variants:
    The -3Hβ was reasonably successful, trying to strike a balance between durability,
    technology and tradition. The resulting product ended up one of the more affordable items in
    PA's Built-to-Order catalogue. The default lasers in the arms were now ER variants, but
    standard lasers were still available as an option (in an inverse of the ER lasers optioned
    on the -2Hβ).
