The pilot lies prone to drop bomblets by hand . . . sometimes instead raining wilted rose petals as a message of defiance and rage.

Due to the craft’s small radar signature, detection by well-armed adversaries is avoided, especially at night.

The flight pattern threads through tight canyons and re-entrants for concealment, then climbs the mountainside to return home, sometimes dragging hands and boots.

You are likely the first souls to visit this wreck up close, as most of the valuable parts have not been stripped.
Unfortunately, the fusion engine is buried and entangled within thick, ancient roots.

It’s mysterious how this cactus could exist, as BH-III is mother to no native succulents.
Perhaps a small personal specimen belonging to the vehicle’s long-dead crew.
Judging by the damage, the hull was strafed by aerial weapons during a long range patrol.

The Shadow Hawk could leap using jump jets in a crisis; though it’s likely the landing would be devastating.

The guidance systems for the missile launchers are shot, so the entire missilette stockpile was stripped for its homing hardware and repacked with increased explosive charge.
Heavy smoke-dispersal warheads in the head-mounted launcher can conceal a (slow) withdraw, if needed.

Settlement technicians lack the resources to fully restore the Hawk’s gyrostabilizer, so the mecha is only able crawl using all its limbs to deploy ‘hull-down’ in ambush maneuvers, until expert help can be recruited.

My thought was that the custom helmet wasn’t compatible with the spinal safety systems and the pilots neck was broken , at least to the point that they became paralyzed

But on the other hand this is more of a style over substance piece

It appears the ejection sequence failed, killing or disabling the pilot upon activation.

In either case, the pilot’s mercenary unit retreated in a hurry, leaving their stranded companion’s body to be fed upon by scavengers.

-The stress, heat, and energy from such ammunition would be unsafe for use in most other weapon platforms.
-17 kg fully loaded

-Early production model features a liquid-cooling system, which preserves accuracy for sustained fire (50 - 70 shots before overheating, depending on ammunition) , maintains barrel durability, extending barrel life through repeated use of hot loads (212 grain).
