Description
Named after the drift shag birds residing on Hector and the Ice Hellion founder Khan StephAn Cage, the 'Drift Shag' was the first Hellion ’Mech built entirely with Clan technology though it used the Falcon as inspiration. It was ordered into production by Khan Mia Taney following the reaving of saKhan Lucius Moore and his cohort.
Weapons and Equipment
The Drift Shag uses an endo steel chassis, and XL engine to save weight. Six jump jets have been mounted in the right and left torso, which allows the Drift Shag to cover 180 meters per jump. Double heat sinks can dissipate a good deal of heat, but overzealous MechWarriors can still quickly overheat their machines. With its speed and concentration of short-range weapons the Drift Shag fit nicely into the Ice Hellion views on zellbrigen among light ’Mechs.[1]
Design Quirks
The Drift Shag has the following Design Quirks:[1]

Notes
