==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Jaguar''''' was the first entry into the general sales market for [[BattleMech]]s by [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]], and was produced via [[Assault Tech Industries]], a Clan Wolf-in-Exile company founded in the 3120s with assistance from the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] to allow Clan Wolf-in-Exile to compete with [[Clan Sea Fox]].<ref name="TRO:3145LCp28+"/>
+
A light, fast quad 'mech design introduced in the [[Dark Age]], the Jaguar appears throughout the inner sphere forces, and less frequently among the clans. [[Dragon's Fury]], [[House Steiner]], and [[House Davion]] have all been seen fielding this design, utilizing it's light armament and impressive speed in scouting roles.
 
 
A quadrupedal scout 'Mech featuring a number of advanced [[Clan]] technological features, the ''Jaguar'' proved to be a success, spreading quickly amongst the various [[mercenary]] units working for the Lyran Commonwealth. Capable of deploying in a variety of roles including mobile fire support, reconnaissance, and search-and-destroy missions, the ''Jaguar'' was powered by a [[Light Force 280]] [[extralight fusion engine]] that could propel it at speeds of almost 130 km/h. For protection the ''Jaguar'' carried a full seven tons of [[Compound RSH5]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, as much as could be carried on a 'Mech of its size, providing excellent protection. Assault Tech Industries improved on that protection by implementing an excellent design for the legs that featured actuators far more rugged and durable than most, intended to frustrate attempts by [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Elementals]] and other [[battle armor]] troops to kneecap ''Jaguars'' in action.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp28+"/>
 
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The ''Jaguar'' mounted a [[Type 6]] [[ATM-6]] launcher in a [[Quad BattleMech Turret]] installed in the right torso, supplied with two tons of ammunition. The ''Jaguar'' also mounted a pair of [[Series 2d]] [[ER medium laser]]s in each torso alongside a [[Hovertec Aethershot]] [[SRM-2]] launcher; the two Aethershots are supplied from a single ton of ammunition stored in the left torso. As a Clan design, both torsos were automatically protected by [[CASE]].<ref name="TRO:3145LCp28+"/>
+
The Jaguar quad 'mech mounts a single [[ER Medium Laser]] and an [[ATM-6]], though one variant mounts a [[Streak Missile Launcher|Streak SRM]] instead. This armament suits the Jaguar well for its intended role, though it is not powerful enough to take on heavier armed units.

==Variants==
*; ''Jaguar 2'' : This variant removes all of the weapons from the original ''Jaguar'' except a single [[ER medium laser]] in each torso; the turret is removed to fit [[CASE]] in it. In place of the original weapons payload the ''Jaguar 2'' carries a trio of [[machine gun]]s in each of the left and right torsos, each trio arranged as a [[Machine Gun Array]], as well as adding a [[medium pulse laser]] alongside each Machine Gun Array. The remaining payload is taken up by an advanced electronics suite consisting of a [[targeting computer]] mounted in the right torso, and an [[active probe]] and a [[light TAG]] system mounted in the center torso.
