==Description==
 
==Description==
In an attempt to quickly follow up on the successful ''[[Wraith]]'' [[BattleMech]], [[Curtiss Militech]] released the ''Yeoman'' in addition to the ''[[Eagle (BattleMech)|Eagle]]''. The ''Yeoman'' has an awkward physical appearance when compared to most other BattleMechs as it is dominated by its massive missile ports. The ''Yeoman'' is powered by a rugged Pitban 240 [[fusion engine]] that gives the ''Yeoman'' a top speed of 64.8 km/h. To save weight, the 'Mech has a Curtiss Yeoman [[Endo Steel]] chassis that weighs half as much as a standard internal structure. The ''Yeoman'' is armored with eight and a half tons of Kallon FWL Special [[ferro-fibrous]] armor that provides a respectable amount of armor protection when compared to direct competitors such as the ''[[Apollo (BattleMech)|Apollo]]'' and ''[[Trebuchet]]''. If that weren't enough, the ''Yeoman'' has [[CASE]] that allows the 'Mech to survive an ammunition explosion on either side torso.<ref name=TRO3060/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
Designed specifically as a fire support 'Mech, the ''Yeoman'' carries two Zeus [[LRM-15]] launchers and two Zeus [[LRM-10]] launchers with enough ammunition for two minutes of sustained fire. Since that is the only armament on the 'Mech, any [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] that pilots a ''Yeoman'' has to be wary of letting enemies get close, as it has no secondary weapons to deal with such foes.<ref name=TRO3060/>

==Variants==
*;YMN-10-OR : This is the [[Jihad]]-era variant of the 'Mech which introduces newer equipment to the design. The LRM-15s have been removed in favor of four [[MML-5]] Launchers which have been given 3 tons of ammunition. These new launchers give the 'Mech a better means of protecting itself at short ranges.  The 'Mech has been given [[Jump Jets]] and an [[XL Gyro]]. The weight saved with these changes allows for additional armor to be installed on the arms and legs. BV (2.0) = 1,319<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 162</ref>
