==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Crimson Hawk''''' was originally developed by [[Clan Blood Spirit]] in [[3069]] as a light strike 'Mech. [[Clan Diamond Shark]] became aware of the prototype model and won a [[Trial of Possession]] for it, developing the ''Crimson Hawk'' into its production form. Much of its mass is geared towards armor and firepower rather than speed, as it was intended for difficult terrain and swarm tactics.<ref name=TRO134>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 134-135, "Crimson Hawk"</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Crimson Hawk'' is armed with a [[Series 7K]] and a [[Series 7J]] pair of [[ER large laser]]s that allow it to snipe at an enemy from long range. Utilizing its [[jump jet]]s allows the 'Mech to leap up to 150 meters, keeping the enemy at distance or to attain an advantageous firing position.<ref name=TRO134 />

*; Crimson Hawk 3 : A variant that was being tested by [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] in [[3075]], it upgrades the chassis to [[endo steel]] while the [[Series 7K]] [[ER large laser]] is downgraded to a [[Series 3K]] [[ER medium laser]]. This makes room for [[improved jump jet]]s, allowing the 'Mech to vault farther and making it more heat-efficient.<ref name=TRO134 /> BV (2.0) = 1,029<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 111</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 257</ref>
