================================================================================================
Overview:
    A refit kit for Shadow Hawks released by Earthwerks just before the clan invasion. A major
    rework, it significantly improves the standard Shadow Hawk without using an XL engine. Armor
    is swapped to 8.5 tons ferro-fibrous. CASE is added to protect all ammunition. Two extra
    jump jets are added, and all heat sinks are replaced with 11 engine mounted double heat
    sinks. Armament is improved by adding a Streak SRM2 system in the head, and upgrading the
    LRM5 launcher to an LRM10 with Artemis IV systems. Additionally, the autocannon is replaced
    with an extended range large laser, which has no minimum range, improved range over the
    autocannon, and does increased damage. While expensive, the refit kit was still cheaper than
    the SHD-5M by a significant margin, allowing market penetration into customers priced out by
    either fully new manufacture or the refit kits for that model.
