Overview:
"It is with great pride that we present what will prove to be a
’Mech that will honor not only the future of the Draconis Combine,
but also its glorious past. Ladies and gentleman, behold . . . the
Shiro." - Chu-Sa Isamu Takei, at the official military presentation
of the Shiro
The Shiro is named for Shiro Kurita, the founder of the Draconis
Combine, or House Kurita, and it was chosen by the designer. The
Shiro’s task is to watch over and lay down cover fire for other
friendly units on the battlefield; it evokes the sense of Shiro
Kurita watching over his empire.
Capabilities:
The Shiro is a relatively new design, first pressed into service
by House Kurita during the height of the Word of Blake's jihad
against the Inner Sphere. As elegant as it is functional, the Shiro
is a formidible battlefield opponent. Featuring quad LRM-10s with
ample heat dissipation, the Shiro can hammer its opponents from
extreme range, softening targets substantially with a punishing
missile barrage before finishing them off with its Rotary AC/2. If a
hostile strays too close for an effective ranged attack, the Shiro
can deliver a crippling blow with its hand-mounted ferrosteel
machete, blowing past nearly all types of armor to cripple targeted
components.
Known Variants:
There are currently only three 'Shiro'-class BattleMechs in active
service: SH-V-H 'Yami [Darkness]' Shiro, SH-V-H 'Kaminari [Thunder]'
Shiro, and the SH-P-H 'Hashira [Pillar]' Shiro, all of which are
operating under the banner of House Kurita.
