[edit] Description
Clan Jade Falcon designed the Eyrie to parallel the Cougar, only with slightly less firepower in favor of a more well-rounded combat performance. It was first used in battle on the Lyran world of Zhongshan in 3087. Since then it has been deployed throughout the Clan's Clusters as light 'Mech hunters and fast support. Its distinctive wings, common with later Jade Falcon designs, allow the Eyrie to dissipate heat almost as fast as it gains it.
[edit] Armament
Sporting two Type 3 Series ATM 3s plus two Series 6a ER Medium Lasers and four General Systems Micro Pulse Lasers, allowing the Eyrie good mobility and armor, as well as great up-close firepower for its size and a minimized ammunition dependence. The Eyrie also include claws in its legs, allowing it to rip important armor pieces apart while performing Death from Above maneuvers.
[edit] Variants
There are no known variations of the Eyrie.
