==Description==
[[Clan Jade Falcon]] designed the '''''Eyrie''''' to parallel the ''[[Cougar]]'', cutting back on firepower for a more well-rounded approach. It was also the first Falcon BattleMech aimed at melee combat, departing from Clan tradition. First used in battle on the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] world of [[Zhongshan]] in [[3087]], it was since deployed throughout the Clan's [[Cluster]]s as [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [['Mech]] hunters and fast support, and it became popular among new sibko graduates. Its distinctive wings, common with later Jade Falcon designs, allow the ''Eyrie'' to dissipate heat almost as fast as it gains it. In addition, the [[Partial_Wing_(BattleMech)|partial wing]] adds approximately 60 meters to the ''Eyrie''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s 150 meter range.<ref name=TRO3145p98/><ref name=DADossiers241>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 241: "Lyza Helmer"</ref>

The ''Eyrie'' carries [[Type 3 Series]] [[ATM-3]]s, two [[Series 6a]] [[ER medium laser]]s, and four [[General Systems (Micro pulse laser)|General Systems]] [[micro pulse laser]]s. It also includes [[Talon (weapon)|talons]] in its legs, a sign of its melee-aimed design.<ref name=TRO3145p98/>

Sporting two [[Type 3 Series]] [[ATM-3]]s, two [[Series 6a]] [[ER medium laser]]s, and four [[General Systems (Micro pulse laser)|General Systems]] [[micro pulse laser]]s, the ''Eyrie'' has great up-close firepower for its size and a minimized ammunition dependence. The ''Eyrie'' also includes [[Talon (weapon)|talons]] in its legs, allowing it to rip important armor pieces apart while performing [[Death from Above]] maneuvers.
