==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Angel''' is a fusion-powered lightweight conventional fighter originally from the [[Free Worlds League]]. Like the [[Defender_(Conventional_Fighter)|Defender]], the Angel was exported to every Successor State, becoming common across the Inner Sphere. In fact it is often known as the '''Light Strike Fighter'''.<ref name=TRO3039/>
 
  
With its lightweight and easy-to-produce equipment, the Angel can be built on nearly any industrialized world. Though not a substitute for an aerospace fighter, the Angel serves very well as a reconnaissance craft and a light strike fighter. Capable of harassing ground units and outrunning nearly anything else in the air, in the right hands the Angel is a deadly foe.<ref name=TRO3039/>
+
A fusion-powered light-weight conventional fighter originally from the [[FWL]]. Now common across the sphere.
  
The only drawback to this craft is its extremely light armor. A few well-placed [[SRM]] rounds or [[Machine Gun]] hits will easily destroy the Angel. Fortunately for its pilots, the extreme speed of the craft makes it difficult to hit.<ref name=TRO3039/>
+
==Armament==
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
Nose-mounted [[SRM-4]] with one ton of ammo.
The standard Angel mounts a single [[SRM-4]] in the nose, fed by a ton of ammunition. Though unlikely to cause any serious fear in a MechWarrior or aerospace fighter pilot, loading the launcher with [[Inferno (Missile)|Inferno ammunition]] rounds makes the Angel much more dangerous.<ref name=TRO3039/>
 
  
 
==Cargo==
 
==Cargo==
The Angel mounts two [[External Stores Hardpoint|external hardpoints]] for bombs and other external ordnance. Combined with the craft's high speed, this capability makes it a decent tactical bomber.<ref name=TRO3039/>

Two external hardpoints.
  
 
==Variants==
 
==Variants==
As the Angel was distributed so widely across the Inner Sphere, every Great House is capable of manufacturing it. The Angel platform has also served as the basis for several variants.
 
 
*; Angel Upgrade : This variant of the Angel replaces the SRM-4 with a [[Streak SRM-2]] rack. BV (2.0) = 111<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 274</ref>
 
 
*; Comet : A copy built by [[Lycomb-Davion IntroTech]] and [[Jalastar Aerospace]] for the [[Federated Suns]]. BV (2.0)= 129<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 276</ref><ref name=OBFSp28>''Objectives: Federated Suns'', p. 28: "Jalastar Aerospace"</ref>
 
 
*; Suzume (Sparrow) : A [[Kurita]] variant using the Shinobi 70 Turbine, it upgrades the wing armor by 50% and swaps the SRM launcher for a single [[LRM-5]] rack. BV (2.0)= 116,<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 280</ref> 120<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 200</ref>
 
 
*; Owl : A copy of the Angel built by the [[Shipil Company]] for the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. BV (2.0)= 129<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 279</ref>
 
  
*; Owl II : This [[Lyran]] variant replaces the standard SRM with a nose-mounted [[medium laser]], wing-mounted [[small laser]]s and an extra ton of fuel. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 191,<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 277</ref> 207<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 '', p. 198</ref>
+
* ''Suzume'' = Sparrow - [[Kurita]] variant with Shinobi 70 Turbine, SRM replaced with [[LRM-5]] and 50% more wing armor.
  
*; Owl III : This variant has the same fuel capacity as the Owl II, but replaces the standard lasers with two nose-mounted [[extended range medium laser]]s. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 329,<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 278</ref> 345<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 199</ref>
+
* ''Owl II'' - [[Lyran]] variant replaces SRM with nose-mounted [[Medium Laser]], wing mounted [[Small Laser|Small Lasers]] and 1 ton more fuel.
  
*; Andurien : This variant used an AeroOmni 70 engine, this variant carries one ton of additional fuel, but also has a reduced maximum speed. Taking a cue from the ''Owl'' variants, the SRM launcher is replaced with nose-mounted [[Medium Pulse Laser|medium]] and [[small pulse laser]]s, and carrying a rear-mounted [[ER Small Laser]]. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 158,<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 263</ref> 184<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 196</ref>
+
* ''Owl III'' - Owl II with the lasers replaced with two nose-mounted [[Extended Range Medium Laser||Extended Range Medium Lasers]].
  
==Gallery==
+
* Unnamed [[Andurien]] variant - AeroOmni 70 engine, one ton additional fuel, SRM replaced with nose-mounted medium and small pulse lasers, rear-mounted [[ER Small Laser]].
