==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Mongrel''''' is a mixed-tech, medium Clan [[BattleMech]] which was originally started as a joint-project between [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] and the [[Rasalhague Dominion]]. Its origin stems from [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s need to replace its aging inventory of 'Mechs; in order to accomplish this, a joint project was started between manufacturers in the Rasalhague Dominion and those in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] that produced 'Mechs for Clan Wolf-in-Exile.

The '''''Mongrel''''' is a mixed-tech Medium Class Clan [[BattleMech]] originally started as a joint-project between [[Clan Wolf (in Exile)|Clan Wolf In-Exile]] and [[Rasalhague Dominion]]. The cost-effective 'Mech would be known for its high-speed and effectiveness with its limited weapons array. Its origin stems from [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s need for replacements for its aging inventory of 'Mechs, initiated jointed project between its manufactures and those of Clan Wolf In-Exile in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].
  
The two Clan manufacturers desired for the 'Mech to be both inexpensive and combat effective. When it was first produced in [[3092]], it was widely considered to be an abomination due to its hodgepodge appearance, but this did not stop the 'Mech from being built. Two different models were produced, one for the Clans and the other made for the mercenary market. The latter model became popular among multiple mercenary commands due its effectiveness on the battlefield and its low maintenance cost.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 33: Mongrel - Background.</ref>

==Armament==
Designed with a hybrid of Inner Sphere and Clan technologies, the ''Mongrel''<nowiki>'</nowiki> noted speed comes from its [[Magna-C 350 XL]] [[extralight engine]]. This powerful Clan-tech engine allowed the swift 'Mech to outpace most machines on the battlefield with a top speed of 118.8 km/h. Its [[endo steel]] hull is protected by 10.5 tons of [[Royal-7R]] [[reactive armor]], giving it additional protection from area-effect weapons, penetrating weapons, and missile fire.

*; MGL-T2 : Introduced in [[3093]], this variant is geared towards Clan-oriented commands. This [[Technology Rating|advanced tech]] version of the ''Mongrel'' drops the [[AC/5]] in favor of a [[ProtoMech AC/8]] with 10 rounds of ammunition. In addition to a larger bore autocannon, the ''Mongrel'' is also fitted with a [[Guardian ECM suite]] and [[actuator enhancement system]] to give its [[retractable blade]] better odds in hitting its intended target.
