− '''Electronic Warfare Equipment''' ('''EW Equipment''') was a suite of basic electronic devices developed in [[3025]] by the [[Capellan Confederation]] and included on the first model of their ''[[Raven]]'' [[BattleMech]] along with the rare -0X variant of the ''[[Cataphract]]''. The device mimicked the combined capabilities of the then-[[lostech]] [[Beagle Active Probe]] and [[Guardian ECM Suite]], but without the range of those [[Star League era]] devices. It was a landmark development for the Confederation in its time, but became obsolete with the redevelopment of the [[Star League]] systems it copied.<ref name="TOp310-311">''Tactical Operations'', pp. 310-311, "Electronic Warfare Equipment"</ref> + '''Electronic Warfare Equipment''' (EW Equipment) was a suite of basic electronic devices developed in [[3025]] by the [[Capellan Confederation]] and included on the first model of their ''[[Raven]]'' [[BattleMech]].

− The ''Raven'' 'Mech and its unspecified electronics suite were introduced as early as 1987 in the ''[[House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)]]'' sourcebook, but no rules were originally provided for the system except that it weighed 7.5 tons. The 1989 novel ''[[Warrior: Coupé]]'' showed it to possess some jamming capabilities, but otherwise fans were left to speculate about its abilities. + The ''Raven'' 'Mech and its unspecified electronics suite were introduced as early as 1987 in the ''[[House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)]]'' sourcebook, but no rules were originally provided for the system except that it weighted 7.5 tons.

[[MechForce Germany]] eventually published a ruleset for the device that was adopted by [[FanPro Germany]] and officially published as "[[ECM 3025]]" in ''[[Arena-Planet Solaris VII]]'', the German edition of the ''Solaris VII'' boxed set. This item was not considered canon, however, as it was never published in English; the later publication of the EW Equipment rules rendered the ECM 3025 an obsolete game rule in any case.
