The '''''Erinyes''''' [[ProtoMech]] was the first designed and produced by [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. After seeing how poorly it fared in battle against the [[Lyran Alliance]] and [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] forces, [[Khan]] [[Marthe Pryde]] ordered the project terminated in [[3064]]. The problem with the ''Erinyes'' was simple: It was a proof-of-concept design intended to show that the [[ProtoMech]] program could work. Unfortunately the slow speed, light armor, and paltry weapon system doomed the ''Erinyes'' to failure. Most of these ProtoMechs and their pilots were reassigned to the Periphery flank of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone and to rear area security duties.

The ''Erinyeses'' (and their pilots) did perform well during the [[Hellion's Fury]] campaign. Using the ''Erinyes'' as an ambush hunter, the Jade Falcon forces on several worlds seriously damaged [[Clan Ice Hellion]] forces. (It is important to note that the ambushes only occurred after the Hellions broke ''[[zellbrigen]]''. In the stand-up fights the Jade Falcons prefer, the ''Erinyes'' is little more than a target. Given that the Falcons have been known to withhold ''zellbrigen'' when fighting Inner Sphere forces, this use of the ''Erinyes'' should not be ignored.
