Description[edit]

The Phoenix Hawk L is a light BattleMech, produced originally for the Draconis Combine at the dawn of the thirty-second century. It was modeled to resemble Crosby's old and remodeled Phoenix Hawk, which they had first produced in the 3060s, and was their BattleMechs Research Firm's bid to offer a replacement to the venerable Panther after the Second Combine-Dominion War. Alternately known as the Fenikkusu Taka, the Phoenix Hawk L retains the movement profile of its heavier predecessor.

The Phoenix Hawk L's qualities would be popular with recon and fast combined-arms units.[2]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

The 'Mech's most prominent weapon is the Matabushi Stunner TSEMP Cannon, which enable it to potentially disable an opponent. The cannon is backed up by a Shigunga 3-Tube MML-3 and a single Victory 23E ER medium laser, and to fulfill its infantry support role, the 'Mech carries three Sperry Browning heavy machine guns.

The Phoenix Hawk L is powered by a GM 210-rated extralight fusion engine, which gives it enough speed to keep up with most combat vehicles. The 'Mech's hull is protected by six and a half tons of standard armor and standard CASE is protects ammunition stored in the left torso. Like the Phoenix Hawk L's Civil War-era predecessor, the 'Mech uses a Full-Head Ejection System for the safety of the pilot.[2]
