==Description==
Originally designed by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] under the designation ''Charybdis'' in the late 3040s, Clan Smoke Jaguar engineers awaited the results of battle with the Inner Sphere before finalizing the specifications. The class was renamed mid-[[Operation Revival|REVIVAL]] in honor of the legendary Inner Sphere aerospace fighter pilot [[Tyra Miraborg]], whose kamikaze run on the Clan Wolf flagship ''Dire Wolf'' stalled the Clan invasion and killed the Smoke Jaguar [[ilKhan]] [[Leo Showers]]. The class was launched from [[Huntress]] shipyards in [[3053]] and saw action against the [[Draconis Combine]] in the ongoing defense of [[Matabushi_Incorporated#Avon|Matabushi Yards]] at [[Avon]]. The capture of the [[Luzerne Memory Core]] suggested a dozen had been built by the time of the Combine's raid in [[3055]].<ref name=TRO3057r84/>

A maneuverable vessel, it can easily bring its formidable array of weapons to bear while in space, though it rarely lands on contested planets, preferring to stay in orbit with its [[Trinary]] of [[OmniFighters]].

==Armament==
The impressive armament on the ''Miraborg'' reflects a change in Clan military philosophy concerning the role of DropShips. It is well armored for its role but the overall placement of the weapons, mostly in the nose and stern, leaves it vulnerable when landed. Long-range direct firepower is provided by an impressive set of weapons, including six [[ER Large Lasers]], five [[large pulse laser|large pulse lasers]], and two [[gauss rifle|Gauss rifles]]. This is supported by two LRM-20s and 3 LRM-15s, all with Artemis IV. If anything approaches the ship, it can bring to bear its eight Medium Pulse Lasers, three LB 20X and three Ultra 20 Autocannons, two SRM-4s, and three SRM-6s. It carries reasonable amounts of ammo for most weapons but is especially light on the Gauss and LB-20X ammunition.<ref name=TRO3057r84/>
