Overview:
    SHO-1L Shaolin is experimental close-assault mech designed to destroy it's enemies with
    devastating physical attacks. Warrior house Hiritsu cooperated with Death Commandos and
    Ceres Metals scientists on assembling three Shaolins, the Magnificent Trio. Cooperation on
    this level is quite rare, but the design demanded tremendous amount of resources and only
    time will prove if it's worth the money.

Capabilities:
    Some call it Charger concept brought to it's extreme, SHO-1L is only lightly armed for it's
    size. It was manufactured to provide the Death Commandos with mech similar to venerable
    Exterminator.
    
    ER large laser, installed deep within the chest, barely fitted under massive 360 class XL
    engine, that was manufactured by experimentally adjusting locally produced 375 model, and
    two ER medium lasers were added to arms just behind massive wrists bracers to cover wider
    area with fire, but with the large laser they make only armament other than mech's physical
    attacks.
    
    Shaolin possesses impressive defensive abilities. It's covered from head to foot in new
    stealth armor that provides the same protection as standard armor and makes the Shaolin
    virtually impossible to hit until it closes. AMS system was installed to swat down the
    missiles from the air, but the amount of ammo is very limited, so pilots are instructed to
    conserve it until they get close enough to lose protection provided by the stealth
    technology. Six powerful jump jets were installed to torso sides to provide additional
    mobility,allowing pilot to disengage when needed.
    
    SHO-1L possesses limited sniping ability but it's main strength lies in physical contact
    with the enemy, where it can easily kick off leg from any known light mech, or drive one of
    it's hardened fists through head armor and cockpit of all mechs. XL engine limits the
    endurance of the mech, but it's believed that mech's mobility and defensive equipment will
    keep it safe until it fulfills it's mission.

Deployment:
    The Magnificent Trio is deployed on special missions with the Death Commandos, but house
    Hiritsu may have some limited chance to occasionally borrow one of the mechs, if they didn't
    receive something else as payment for their part of resources devoted to the project.
