Description
The Raven is a technological marvel and employs a large number of advanced electronic warfare systems possibly making it the most advanced light 'Mech on the field, at least in detection and targeting equipment. The Raven was first built by the Capellan Confederation as an electronics test bed unit that was pushed into combat during the third Succession War when the Federated Suns made a concentrated effort to destroy the Liao state. Since that time there has been rediscovered Star League technology that has allowed the Raven to reach its full potential. The Raven has a maximum speed of 97.2 km/h, which is respectable for a 'Mech of its weight class. The Raven is armored with four and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, giving it good protection. To further its survivability, it is outfitted with CASE to protect against any ammunition explosions. The 'Mech is also powered by an XL Engine and carries some of the most advanced electronics warfare equipment in the Inner Sphere including an Apple Churchill Beagle Active Probe, an Apple Churchill Guiding Light Narc Missile Beacon, am Apple Churchill Guardian ECM Suite, and finally an Apple Churchill 442x TAG.
Armament
The Raven carries a small, but for its size respectable, weapons array. The primary weapon on board the Raven is a pair of Ceres Arms Medium Lasers, which give it its primary firepower. These are backed up by a Harpoon-6 SRM-6 to finish off any enemy units that it does engage. Generally though the Raven is kept out of direct firefights as it is more valuable ad a recon asset then as a front line combat 'Mech.
Variants
- RVN-1X - The prototype of what became the 3L Raven, this is the unit that was pressed into service against the Federated Suns. The 'Mech is armored with four tons of standard armor, and carries two Medium Lasers and an SRM-6 as its primary weapons. The electronics at the time that this 'Mech was built consisted of a massive seven ton experimental ECM Suite that unfortunately did not live up to expectations. BV (1.0) = 674
- RVN-4L - The 4L variant of the Raven incorporates the Confederations new Stealth Armor. The 'Mech carries six tons of Stealth Armor and also uses double heat sinks for greater heat dissipation capabilities. The 'Mech is armed with two ER Medium Lasers and a SRM-6 and also carries the complete electronic warfare package carried by the 3L model. BV (1.0) = 667
