Description
The main Davion DropShip class used in MechWarrior 4, Talon DropShips are small, single lance carrying spacecraft that are rarely seen.[2]
Armament
The Talon has an exceptional weapons loadout for such a small DropShip, with a long range armament consisting of four Large Lasers, four ER Large Lasers, and three LRM-10s. Because of its lack of short range weaponry, it suffers in performance against close enemies.[3]
Cargo
- At least five BattleMechs[4]
The Talon can accommodate its regular crew, plus pilots and techs for the vehicles carried.
Variants
No known variants of the Talon exist.

Canonicity
Being mentioned only in an apocryphal source (the video game MechWarrior 4), the Talon must consequentially be considered apocryphal as well.
Notes
It is possible that the Talon is really a variant or offshoot of the Aurora, but this has not been confirmed. The two share visible similarities along with the fact that both were used on Kentares IV at the same time.
