==Overview:==
When the Clans first invaded the Inner Sphere, they believed that their only
true opposition would come from mechs and aerospace forces. Inner Sphere
conventional vehicles had largely been written off, as had Inner Sphere
infantry. The Inner Sphere also had virtually no battle armor to speak of,
save for those groups who had either recovered Star League prototypes or -
like the Dragoons - were of Clan origin but refused to answer the call. 

In the quarter of a century since, however, the Clans have learned a hard
lesson. Faster and more powerful conventional vehicles have flooded the field,
battle armor is now commonplace, and infantry have learned new tactics for use
against all sorts of targets. This point was driven home when the bulk of the
remaining Jade Falcon military was nearly destroyed by the Word of Blake
during the Jihad. Not only were the new Blakist mechs troublesome, vehicles
like the Pinto and battle armor units like the Purifier Adaptive were
particularly devastating due to how they defied the standard of warfare that
the Clans were used to. 

A Falcon mechwarrior named Craw (later Craw Malthus, after he earned his
bloodname) made the decision to handle matters directly. Realizing that the
LB-10X on his Summoner had too little ammunition and too short a range to be
effective for this new type of fighting, he traded it out for an UAC/5 and
four machine guns. The combination of the LRM 15, the ER PPC, and the UAC/5
allowed him to snipe targets from range, often downing conventional vehicles
and light battlemechs in a single volley. Meanwhile, the array of machine guns
in his mech's torso permitted him to shred infantry and battle armor as he
found them; with 50 rounds of ammo per gun, he could easily annhialate most
enemies before him. 

Based on Craw's successes, the custom scheme of his Summoner was soon adopted
by other pilots with functional Summoners. This shift in tactics helped the
Falcons confuse the Blakist forces, giving the Falcons a rare fighting chance
that contributed to the Falcons' eventual (if limited) counter-offensive.
