------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
     Originally intended as a light cruiser, the design schematics for the
Mjolnir were revised after the Lyran Secession to provide a credible opponent
to the Avalon-class vessels under construction in the Federated Suns. The
modifications also served a psychological role, demonstrating that the
Alliance naval program could stand on its own by producing a tough, powerful
design. 
     As with most new Inner Sphere WarShip designs, parts for the massive
interplanetary drive were a problem, especially after the seizure of Terra by
the Word of Blake. Fortunately, the Alliance was able to direct its industrial
might to solve the problem, subcontracting manufacturing to companies across
the Alliance with final assembly at the SLDF-era Port Sydney Naval yards at
Alarion. The process was both expensive and a logistical nightmare, but it
allowed the LAAF to bootstrap its WarShip program.
     As with much in the Lyran military, the Mjolnir, named for Thor’s hammer
in Teutonic mythology, relies on mass and firepower - though the ship
possesses surprising maneuverability. It can accelerate at 3 Gs, which is
comparable with designs half its mass. Batteries of the heaviest naval
autocannons and Gauss cannons form the principle offensive armament, backed by
a formidable array of conventional weapons for anti-fighter defense
     Problems with the sensor suite and the sail-reefing assembly limited the
role of the one operational Mjolnir, the LAS Yggdrasil, in the civil war. The
second vessel - the Fylgja - remains uncompleted at Alarion.
    The Tir varient of the Moljinir came about due to the capture of the
Yggdrasil  by WiE forces during the recent civil war, the lack of proper
aerospace support was one of the factors of the ships capture, besides the
many mechanical problems the ship was plagued with.  
     In order to partialy remidy this problem the Archon Peter, ordered the
revamping of the procurement and quality  assurance departments of the Lyran
Aliance Naval Command, while at the same time ordering a carrier varient of
the Molijnir but that the ship was to carry nearly the same amount of heavy
firepower as the originail design, while at the same time increasing the ships
armor and secondary battery of of weapons. 
     These three feats was accomplished simplier than orginaily thought to be
the removal of the designs Heavy Naval Gauss rifles proved to be the key to
the quandry, with the removal of the Gauss, enough tonnage was freed up to
upgrade the ships fighter compliment from 36 fighters to 120 fighters, more
than making up for the loss of of the Heavy Gauss. 
    The problem with the increase of armor was simplified by a easier means
but by a way that had the money loving and frugal procurment department having
near epiletic fits, upgrading the armor from Ferro Carbide to the more
expensive but more capable Lamellor Ferro Carbide.  
    The upgrading of the designs secondary weapons was accomplished by the
simply expident of swapping out exsisting weapons with those of a more capable
nature, such as replacing the Er Large Lasers with ER PPC's, the upgrading of
the ships SRM-6's to that of Streak technology. 
     The exsisting battery of LRM Launchers was deemed sufficient to the
revised upgrade and left intact, but the major change of the secondary battery
came in the form of Small Pulse Lasers and Heavy Gauss Rifles, the Small Pulse
laser's came from the result of overstock from Defiance industries, this was
due to the new series of designs coming out that called for the use of ER
Laser tech instead of Pulse Laser tech , hence the addition of a battery of 48
Small Pulse lasers to the ship at a reduced  cost factor. 
     The addition of the Heavy Gauss Rifles to the ships Secondary battery
came as a slight surprise, mainly due to the fact that the orginaly specs
called for Gauss Riles and not heavy Gauss Rifles to be used for the desgin,
but due to the flurry of change at the procurment department, a little typo
resulted in the delivery of the 16 Heavy Gauss Rifles, the ship yard workers
just simply shrugged their shoulders, thinking that a design modification was
order, so they just simply expanded the bays of the exsisting bays for the
gauss rifles, in order to refit the Heavy Gausss Rifles into the design. 
     After the snafu was found out the designers just simply kept the
unauthorised modification to the design (which worked out better than thought)
than reporting the problem to High Command, who was under constant pressure
from Archon Peter, for making sure no problems with the new ship occured.
     Suprising enough the new design came together smoother than the first,
but this was due mostly to the fact that the designers and the shipyards now
had the expertise needed to work with large ship's after the painfull
experience gained form the Moljinir Battlecruisers.
      So what came into being was the Tyr Class Battlecruiser/Carrier, a near
twin of the Moljiner Class, but in some ways a superior design, while the ship
is more expesive, mostly due to the of a prtable HPG being added to the class,
this was needed for the fact that the new ship was more than likely to form
the core of any Task Forces and would need the increased communications
capability, thus transforming the ship from a God of Lightnings, to a true God
of War.
