A fast, heavily armored light with a heavy, far reaching gun and some support lasers: What more do you want?
Put one (or more) of these into a scout lance (together with the Mongoose as is said in the fluff) and you´ll have a mech that can keep pace with the others and can deliver heavy longranged support.
This is one of these mechs where the XL is fully justified.
I´ve used a lance consisting of two Mongooses and two Talons to great effect in a recon/strike mission.
As most Star League aera mechs it isn´t technically maxed and so has some potential to be further upgraded with ES or the like. |

This is almost identical to one of my custom mechs that predeated the 3058 book. It only loses points for failing to take advantage of Endo-steel or FF armor, but that's typical for Star League designs. In open terrain this is a match for any IS light and many mediums. A lance of these has little trouble defeating a Mad Cat or other Clan heavies. Believe me, the Talon works just fine and has a high survival rate; well worth the cost. |

Okay, I'll explain in a second. Take a Cicada with the PPC, give it ER technology, and swap the two smalls for a Medium, and add Double Heat sinks.
All of a suddent this mech is twice as expensive, for the same armour and a 1/1 boost to its speed, and an XL engine to boot.
Personally I see no use in it. |

At over six million c-bills this is an expensive little 'mech. For a line unit facing the Clans this 'mech makes sense though as it has high mobility and is able to strike from long range. |

A good sniper. The armor is fair, but isnt really up to taking a beating. Use it in bash-n-dash units, or other quick strike jobs. The heat output could be a little much, but caution will keep this mech from melting. |
