==Description==
The '''''Spirit''''' is the first [[Clan]] [[BattleMech]] to walk off the production lines of [[Olivetti Weapons]] on [[Sudeten]], which it did in [[3063]]. The product of an upgrade 10 years in the making, the ''Spirit'' is one of the first Clan 'Mechs produced in the [[Inner Sphere]]. Though some components are imported from Clan space, the [[Magna 245 XL]] [[extralight engine]] is made in the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] Occupation Zone. The engine is only one of the weight-saving technologies the design makes use of, however, as the ''Spirit'' incorporates both an [[endo steel]] structure and six tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. While the armor may be somewhat lacking, an [[ECM suite]] helps protect it from some advanced targeting systems, in addition to providing the ''Spirit'' with its name. The ''Spirit'' itself is a relatively fast recon 'Mech that can hold its own at both long and short ranges. In addition, it makes for a good training 'Mech, ensuring that it will have a place in the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Falcon ''touman'']] for a long time to come.<ref name=TRO3067/>
