Description
The Hierofalcon is a Medium Clan OmniMech designed primarily as a striker type design by Clan Jade Falcon. Developed by the Falcons in the mid-3140s as part of the Clan's increasing emphases on maneuverability and fast movement, the 'Mech began construction in 3148 on Alyina's CJF Factory Zone 4, The Hierofalcon was designed at the same time as the larger Jade Phoenix. The duo were part of a new generation of OmniMechs intended to eventually replace the Standard BattleMechs used by the Clan.
One of its noted early actions was in 3149, in a skirmish against the Falcons' former close allies, Clan Hell's Horses on Hyperion. The light and swift Hieronfalcons overwhelmed the Horses' Nova, gaining a reputation among the Horses as being a terror on the battlefield.
Weapons and Equipment
As part of the push to be ever more flexible in movement, the 'Mech features a 270 Rated Extra-Light Engine. The addition of a permanently equipped Partial Wing adds to its maneuverability and cooling abilities. The 'Mech's hull is protected by 7.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous Armor, giving it modest protection from enemy fire, while an ECM Suite provides additional protection from other threats.
The Mech was constructed to handle 19 tons of OmniPods for weapons and equipment. Its primary configuration features a Class 20 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle in the right arm, with two tons of ammunition allotted to the weapon. Backing up the weapon are a pair of Improved Heavy Medium Lasers mounted in the left arm. Intended as a spotter, the Hierofalcon features a TAG. Six Jump Jets have also been fitted into this configuration.
Alternate Configurations
- Alternate Configuration A
- A close range fighter with the added role of anti-infantry striker, this configuration features a right arm mounted Large Pulse Laser, a pair of AP Gauss Rifles split between the arms, two ER Medium Lasers, and a Flamer mounted in the left arm. To assist it in reaching its targets, six Improved Jump Jets are also fitted. BV (2.0)=1,953[3][1]
- Alternate Configuration B
- A missile oriented configuration, The Hierofalcon B's main payload consists of six 6-Tubed Short Range Missile Launchers. Each side torso mounts a pair of the SRMs, while one launcher can be found in each arm. Two ammo bins of 30 missiles are mounted in each of the side torsos with CASE II ensuring lucky hits do not take out the 'Mech. The configuration's missile armaments are backed up by arm-mounted ER Small Lasers and an ER Medium Laser in the center torso. For added mobility, the 'Mech features six standard Jump Jets. BV (2.0)=1,737[1][4]
- Alternate Configuration C
- A long range sniper, the C Configuration has an ER PPC and long reaching Class 2 Rotary Autocannon with 90 rounds of ammunition. BV (2.0)=1,983[1][5]
- Alternate Configuration D
- The D, unlike earlier configurations, lacks Jump Jets, but features a Supercharger for added mobility. This configuration is mostly a laser-based Striker model, with a pair of ER & Pulse Lasers in each of its arms. For added all-range firepower, it features two Six Tubed Advanced Tactical Missile Launchers in each of its side torsos with the ammunition protected by CASE II. BV (2.0)=2,183[1][6]
