This is a variant of the Shrike with heavier armour, increased troop capacity and reduced weapons loadout. It is often fitted for Power Armour troops. In order to reduce the weight impact on its short term performance, its thrusters have been upgraded, but at the expense of barely having half the range of a standard Shrike.
