Newly developed by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] for the [[Clan Invasion]] of the [[Inner Sphere]], the '''''Black Lanner''''' is a fast medium [[OmniMech]] that can take on a variety of roles. − The development of the ''Black Lanner'' began due to the lessons learned by the Jade Falcons from [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|their ''touman''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s]] performance during the Placement Trials for [[Operation REVIVAL]]. Delays with the initial models meant the ''Black Lanner'' only arrived in the Inner Sphere with the returning Falcon [[Khan]]s following the selection of [[ilKhan]] [[Ulric Kerensky]], and first saw action during the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] as fire-support units in light reconnaissance [[Star]]s.

Mixed Stars of ''Black Lanner''s, ''[[Fire Falcon]]''s and [[Fire Moth (Dasher)|''Fire Moth''s]] are common, with the lighter 'Mechs acting as spotters and harassers for the heavier 'Mechs, flushing out the opposing units for the ''Black Lanner'' to move in for the kill. This synergistic relationship is similar to that shared between the smaller [[Fire Falcon (species)|indigenous Fire Falcon]] and the introduced black lanners on [[Ironhold]], both birds benefiting from the presence of the other.<ref name=TRO3058U176-177/> |

The ''Black Lanner'' also includes a [[MASC]] system on the base chassis that enables it to run up to 151 km/h in bursts, allowing it to outrun many 'Mechs half its size. The design sacrifices pod space for that speed however, with an engine almost half the ''Black Lanner'''s weight leaving a mere thirteen tons for offensive weaponry.<ref name=TRO3058U176-177/> |
