Description[edit]

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. In addition, the partial wing adds approximately 60 meters to the Eyrie' 150 meter range.[4]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

Sporting two Type 3 Series ATM-3s, two Series 6a ER medium lasers, and four General Systems micro pulse lasers, the Eyrie has great up-close firepower for its size and a minimized ammunition dependence. The Eyrie also includes talons in its legs, allowing it to rip important armor pieces apart while performing Death from Above maneuvers.

Variants[edit]
