--- --Designer's Notes:

--- --- Designed in the Lyran Commonwealth shortly after the outbreak of the FedComm Civil War and put into production only a short time before the beginning of the Jihad, the Breathtaker was to be the Commonwealth's answer to fast Davion Assault 'Mechs like the Victor and the Templar. In typical Lyran fashion, the Breathtaker mounts a lethal array of weapons. A Ten-Tubed Long-Range Missile Launcher pads out the Breathtaker's main long range armament, which consists of a single ER PPC. Two tons of ammo keep the launcher well stocked through extended engagements while a single Large Pulse Laser provides accurate supplemental firepower at medium range to compliment the rather spartan long range weaponry. However, the true power of the Breathtaker comes from it's blistering short-range arsenal. A pair of Medium Pulse Lasers mounted in the the BattleMech's Right Torso are augmented by a Six-Tubed Short-Range Missile Launcher. The ever-accurate Large Pulse Laser in the Left Torso and an additional two tons of ammo allocated to the short range launcher make the Breathtaker a mean close range brawler. Rounding out the entourage is a pair of Extended-Range Small Lasers to make up for the lack of hand actuators should the brawl devolve into an all-out melee.

--- --- Utilizing the Center Torso of a salvaged Dragon in the design process, Lyran engineers developed the chassis around it's 320 Light Fusion Engine. Drawing heavily from the Zeus, Lyran engineers also incorporated design features from Victors salvaged throughout the war. Ultimately, this led to a BattleMech with a torso resembling a cross between a flat-chested Dragon and a short-shouldered Victor with arms and legs not unlike a much smaller Zeus. The cockpit and head areas were the most engineered out of everything on the Breathtaker... and it shows. A far recessed design that is set down into the torso with a nonetheless impressive (and deceiving) field of view for the pilot, the Breathtaker was in fact named not for the death it would deal nor the fear it would inspire, but rather the view it afforded the pilot of the battlefield around them. The advertising slogan would read, "Nothing beats seeing the quiet after the battle from the seat of a Breathtaker."

--- --- Built upon an Endo-Steel Chassis and mounting Fifteen and a Half tons of Standard-Grade BattleMech Armor, the Breathtaker would become much beloved by pilots during it's short life. Although it could run hot on rare occasion, the 'Mechs' Fifteen Double Heat Stinks generally kept it's lucky MechWarrior quite cool. Unfortunately during the Jihad, production of this 'Mech would dwindle, ensuring it's rarity throughout the Inner Sphere. Spare parts would fetch a high price, and what few new models were built during the limited production runs were covetously snapped up by anyone fortunate enough to be on the rather exclusive waiting list. Altogether the Breathtaker would become a breathtaking experience for anyone lucky enough to pilot one, and an equally breathtaking sight for anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves on the business end of one.
