Technical and Historical Notes

A customized model of the standard ZM-S22S Rig Shokew, the ZM-S22SC Imperial Rig Shokew was very similar to its original form, the most notable differences being the addition of a hand-carried metal whip stored on the right shoulder and a large shield mounted on the left shoulder. The Imperial Rig Shokew was used by BESPA's Kisharl and Neneka Teams.
