==Description==
The '''''Eyleuka''''' is a technological marvel of the late 3060s that owes everything to the [[Trinity Alliance]], specifically the bond between the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and [[Capellan Confederation]]. The Canopians benefited greatly, especially in military technology, but they wanted to prove that they could design a modern [[BattleMech]] without the Confederation's help. Five years after the commencement of R&D, the team from Detroit had little to show for their work; at the same time, the [[CCAF]] wanted a modern 'Mech for their commandos to use. The result of their collaboration is the ''Eyleuka''.<ref name=TRO78>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 78</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==

Named after a legendary queen of Ethiopia, the ''Eyleuka'' is a very mobile medium 'Mech. Though it only has a top speed of 86 km/h, seven [[Improved Jump Jets|improved jump jet]]s give it a maximum jumping distance of 210 meters. Nine and a half tons of [[Stealth Armor]] give it decent protection, especially at range, but also make it difficult to be detected. Of course, the mandatory use of a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] further compliments its stealth role. A [[small cockpit]] makes piloting the 'Mech more difficult, while the [[Compact Gyro|compact gyro]] makes the gyroscope less vulnerable. The engine is a great deal more vulnerable, however, as the design incorporates an [[XL Engine]].<ref name=TRO78 />

The 'Mech's largest weapon is the [[Spencer Selectable]] [[MML-9]] launcher, which gives the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] the flexibility to utilize long- and short-range missiles. While rather worryingly placed on either side of the cockpit, three tons of ammunition impart the additional flexibility to make use of special munitions. At long range, the ''Eyleuka'' has a [[Extended-Range_Large_Laser#Diverse_Optics_Sunbeam|Diverse Optics Sunbeam]] [[ER large laser]], but when it closes it can make use of a pair of [[Diverse Optics Type II]] [[ER medium laser]]s. A [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] can call direct deadly missiles or homing [[artillery]].<ref name=TRO78 />

While the ''Eyleuka'' is potent at all ranges, it is at its best when it can utilize its stealth armor and superior mobility to make it impossible for enemies to return fire.

*; EYK-4A : Though it never made it beyond the prototype stage, the 4A was the original Canopian design. It could only jump 180 meters, though it had a top speed of 97 km/h which could be boosted through [[MASC]]. The decidedly lower-tech machine used standard [[medium laser]]s and two [[Machine Gun Array]]s consisting of four [[machine gun]]s each instead of the missile launcher. It had standard armor, and used an [[active probe]].<ref name=TRO78 /> The 4A variant was designed in [[3067]].
