==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Peregrine Attack VTOL''' was one of two VTOLs built by Blackwell for [[Wolf's Dragoons]]. Soon after its introduction it was made available to the general public. Despite its high speed, it wasn't very successful because of its high price, low maneuverability, and unreliable components. During the early [[thirtieth century]] three houses (Kurita, Liao and Marik) used Peregrines in police forces or reserve military forces.<ref name=TR3058Up72f/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
Originally tasked to guard transports and secure drop zones, the extremely short range of the [[SRM-4]] and [[Machine Guns]], plus its thin armor, led to unacceptably high losses. The Peregrine was then taken out of front line service.<ref name=TR3058Up72f/>

*;Cargo : This version of the Peregrine strips out all the weapons and equipment and replaces them with a seven ton [[Cargo Bay|cargo bay]]. BV (2.0) = 88<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 59</ref>

*; Kuritan : This version of the Peregrine was pushed into combat during the [[Clan Invasion]]. It removed the machine guns and replaced them with a pair of [[medium laser]]s. Unfortunately these modified Peregrines were no more effective in combat than the original Peregrine. BV (2.0) = 564<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 60</ref>
