Overview:
    In the waning days of the Dark Age, Kallon Industries on Loyalty would begin designing an
    update for the Falcon Hawk. In a post break-up FWL were years of low-intensity high mobility
    warfare had become the norm, slow light mechs were no longer viewed as desirable or
    acceptable, and Kallon Industries wanted to get with the times. However, in the course of
    the design process the design team would so radically depart from the core design of the
    Falcon Hawk that its resulting product was barely recognizable from what it had been. The
    mech that would finally step off the production line in late 3152 would be designated the
    Jinete after the famed light horsemen of Medieval Spain. Coming in at 40tons (5 tons more
    than its progenitor) the new 'Jinete' would come a long way from being a simple update to an
    old design. In an attempt by the design team (in particular the lead, the mildly eccentric
    Hernado Cortes) to blend some the best aspects of the omni-mech concept with the low
    productivity cost of a normal Battlemech an intense study would be conducted on mechs that
    incorporated module design into them and then exploit this in the emerging new design.
    [9:40 AM]
    The result of this application would be that the Jinette series could rapidly slot in new
    weapons loadouts if they stayed the same weapon type. With the JNT-series being an energy
    focused loadout that would mean that medium-vsp-laser could be swapped out for a light-ppc
    or a medium x-pulse laser. Unlike a true Omni-mech however, the JNT would not require pods
    to make this exchange and instead utilize commercial off the self-products. This wasn?t done
    with the strict approval of Kallon HQ and when it was discovered the board was furious
    however the progress made was undeniable, and so grudging approval was given (along with a
    much shorter leash). This new mech-concept would be organized into series, the JNT-52 series
    (first produced in 3152) would consist of a base-line mech product and three configurations
    at launch.

Capabilities:
    The JNT-52 Base unit would have a 280 rate XL engine letting the mech hit speeds of 119
    km/h. Additionally it would come with 5 jump-jets and a partial wing propelling the mech to
    210 meters through the air. 7.5 tons (127pips) of Light-Ferro Armor would be used. An IS
    Endo-Steal structure would also be utilized to free up additional tonnage. However, this
    would ultimately limit the energy weapon loadout the design could carry. 11 heatsinks would
    be utilized letting the mech sink up to 25 heat.
    
    The JNT-52B: Designed as a specialist mech to intercept and deal with opposition mounting
    advanced armors would come equipped with 4 medium re-lasers.
