==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Falcon Hawk''''' has what is probably the longest development time of any [['Mech]] in history. Originally engineered and designed in [[2794]], the rapid loss of technology during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] delayed its production until [[3057]], and even then only thanks to the recovery of a [[Star League]] [[Helm Memory Core|memory core]] on [[Helm]] by the [[Gray Death Legion]]. The ''Falcon Hawk'' is powered by an [[Omni 175]] [[XL engine]] that provides a top speed of 86.4 km/h, making it relatively slow for its weight class. This is done so the ''Falcon Hawk'' could carry the weapons needed for its role as a long-range sniper. The 'Mech carries seven tons of armor to protect it from return fire, and while this is not a very thick hide, the ''Falcon Hawk'' can take advantage of cover and wooded terrain to make itself extremely hard target to hit at range while using its long range weapon to strike at targets on the battlefield.<ref name=TRO3058Up122f/><ref name=TRO:3058P98>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 98, "Falcon Hawk"</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
The ''Falcon Hawk'' is armed with a [[Fusigon Longtooth]] [[ER PPC]] as its primary weapon, which allows engage targets at up to 690 meters. For close range combat the 'Mech carries two [[Tronel XII]] [[medium pulse laser]]s and a [[Diverse Optics (Small pulse laser)|Diverse Optics]] [[small pulse laser]]. In the event that an enemy is able to circle into its rear arc, the ''Falcon Hawk'' is prepared with a [[Medium_laser#Martell|Martell]] [[medium laser]] to defend its rear armor.<ref name=TRO3058Up122f/><ref name=TRO:3058P98/>

==Variants==
*; FNHK-9K1A : The discontinued 9K1A variant of the ''Falcon Hawk'' reduces its long-range capabilities, but increases the raw firepower available. The [[ER PPC]] has been removed as well as the two [[medium pulse laser]]s. These have been replaced with an [[ER large laser]], a standard [[large laser]], and a [[medium laser]]; the original medium laser was retained.<ref name=TRCIp102f /> This weapons configuration provides the ''Falcon Hawk'' with a capable medium to long-range arsenal.

*; FNHK-9K1B : A variant sold exclusively to the [[Word of Blake]], the 9K1B variant of the ''Falcon Hawk'' is a major upgrade of the design. The [[ER PPC]], both [[medium pulse laser]]s, and the [[small pulse laser]] have all been removed, replaced with an [[ER large laser]] and a trio of [[ER medium laser]]s. The saved weight has been used to add a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] laser designator, a [[Beagle active probe]], and a [[Guardian ECM suite]]. This variant replaced the 9K1A in production.<ref name=TRCIp102f /> BV (1.0) = 968<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 159</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,116<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 201</ref>

==Notes==
 
* In German products, the unit's proper name was altered to '''''Habichtsfalke''''', which instead means ''Brown Falcon'', and is misspelled – it should be ''Habichtfalke''. The model code was accordingly changed to '''HBFK-9K'''.
