==Description==
 
==Description==
First encountered in late [[3085]], the '''''Persepolis''''' is a second-line [[Clan]] [[aerospace fighter]] developed by [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. The craft was first developed unknown to the military intelligence agencies of the [[Inner Sphere]], until a pirate band encountered it while attempting to raid [[Sudeten]]. The ''Persepolis'' was the first product of the Falcons' new orbital space factory, [[Falcon's Roost Orbital Assembly Plant]] and the powerful fighter has since seen deployment to nearly all of Clan Jade Falcon's second and front-line [[Galaxy|Galaxies]], with the exception of its elite formations, which have been given the allotment of the [[OmniFighter]]s in [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|the Clan's ''touman'']].<ref>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 196 - ''Persepolis'' - Background of the fighter</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Persepolis'' is optimized for stand-off engagements using its pairs of [[Series 7K]] [[ER large laser]]s and its advanced tech [[Aesalon]] [[Streak LRM-20]]s. Each of the launchers is supplied with two tons of ammunition, while its Streak technology prevents wasted shots. In close range, [[Tiercel]] [[improved heavy medium laser]]s and [[Harpa]] [[heavy small laser]]s add to ''Persepolis''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s firepower to finish off an opponent. However, flaws in the Falcons' manufacturing process sometimes caused these [[heavy laser]]s to explode.

The medium fighter is optimized for stand-off engagements using its Series 7k Extended-Range Large Lasers and its advanced tech 20-tubed Streak LRMs. Each of the launchers is supplied with two tons of ammunition, while its Streak technology prevents wasted shots. In close range, the fighter's [[w:Brace (sports)|brace]] of Improved Heavy Medium and Small Lasers add to ''Persepolis'''s firepower to finish off an opponent. However, flaws in the Falcons' manufacturing process sometimes caused these weapons to explode.
  
The fighter is not considered the fastest of its class, however it somewhat makes up for its lack of speed by being well armored, with nine tons of [[Compound Gamma]] [[ferro-aluminum]] armor.<ref>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 196 - ''Persepolis'' - Weapons and abilities of the ''Persepolis''</ref>

*; ''Persepolis'' 2 : Introduced in [[3134]] this variant of the ''Persepolis'' carries two [[ER large laser]]s and two [[improved heavy medium laser]]s mounted in the nose, while two aft-mounted [[improved heavy small laser]]s provide rear defense; these weapons are tied into a [[targeting computer]]. Each wing carries a single [[LRM-20]] with [[Artemis V FCS]]. The armor was replaced by [[ferro-lamellor]] armor, which greatly reduces damage from enemy weaponry.
