Description
Clan Jade Falcon developed this medium-weight BattleMech as part of a Clan-wide project in the early 3110s, aiming to revitalize the whole Clan. It replaced some older designs whose parts became increasingly scarce since the loss of home world ties.
This design first saw action against Clan Wolf and Clan Hell's Horses in 3128. Built for speed, firepower and simplicity, the Gyrfalcon became common in Jade Falcon Stars.
Armament
This design is usually equipped with two Series 6b Extended Range Large Lasers and 2 Type OVR-V LB 2-X ACs.
Variants
One variant has been noticed, replacing both LB 2-X ACs by 2 Type 25 Ultra AC/2s, the original engine (by a 276 XL) and armor (by Olivetti Stage 3 brand). However, this version is unnamed, as it is a personal variant from a MechWarrior (Benj Malthus) and no proof has been found about an official variant.
Another variant seen in the novel, Flight of the Falcon, shows Gyrfalcon armed with pair of Ultra AC/5s & ER Large Lasers.[1][2]
