Angular and intimidating, the Shrike class combat rig is a unicorn augmentation that provides the user with greatly enhanced survivability and tactical awareness. Hoof mounted boosters, while not permitting true flight, considerably increase the users mobility and evasiveness in most situations. In a pinch, the Shrike is also capable of generating a personal energy shield, rated to stop up to medium caliber rifle munitions. Favoured by mercenary companies and private defense agencies for its reliability and effectiveness, the foreboding face-plate of the Shrike is often the last thing a pony sees.
