	==Description==		==Description==
−	The '''Hawk Moth II Gunship''' is a light-class [[Combat Vehicle]], originally produced in the early years of the [[thirty-second century]]. A design produced by a collaboration between Michaelson Heavy Industries of [[Terra]] and Victory Conditions Industries of [[Mizar]], the Hawk Moth II was created as a high-speed [[VTOL]]. The craft was intended to be the spiritual successor to Michaelson's original '''[[Hawk Moth]]''', produced in the [[thirty-first century]]. Unlike its predecessor however, the Hawk Moth II plays the role of a harasser and acts as a conventional interdiction aircraft used against ground forces.	+	The '''''Hawk Moth II Gunship''''' is a light Class of [[Combat Vehicle]] type [[VTOL]], which was originally produced in early years of the [[32nd Century]]. A collaboration design produced by Michaelson Heavy Industries of [[Terra]] and Victory Conditions Industries of [[Mizar]], the ''Hawk Moth II'' was created as high-speed VTOL. The craft was intended to be the spiritual successor to Michaelson's original [[Hawk Moth|Hawk Moth Gunship]] which produced in [[31st Century]]. Unlike its predecessor, the ''Hawk Moth II'' plays the roles as a harasser and acts as conventional interdiction aircraft.
−	The Hawk Moth II would be sold to the major powers and mercenary forces of the [[Inner Sphere]], often placed in supporting roles within [[Combined Arms]] formations. Such craft have been deployed in planetary raids where at times, teamed up with other variants, a number of them undertook both scouting missions and the pursuit of fleeing combatants.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 12 Hawk Moth II - Background.</ref>	+	The craft would be sold to the major powers and mercenary forces of the [[Inner Sphere]], being used support [[Combined Arms]] formations.

−	One of the few similarities the Hawk Moth II shares with its namesake is its speed. Powered by a 135-rated Michaelson extralight fusion engine, the VTOL can move at excess of 183 km/h. Combining this high speed with four tons of highly damage-resistant StarSlab/7 Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor, the craft can be guaranteed a chance to perform its role.	+	One of the few similarities the ''Hawk Moth II'' shares with its namesake is its speed. Powered by a 135-rated Michaelson Extra-Light Fusion Engine, the VTOL can move at excess of 183 kph. Using this high-rate speed with 4 tons of highly damage resistant Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor, this combination aids the craft to close in on its objective.
−	The Hawk Moth II's weaponry is intended for intermediate and close range engagements. This light assortment consists of a pair of [[Chin Turret]]-mounted [[Diverse Optics]] Extended Range Medium Lasers and a pair of front-mounted [[Harpoon 6-tubed Short-Range Missile Launchers]]. Though the damage output from this arsenal is not incredible, it does give the Hawk Moth II respectable harassment capabilities, and is certainly adequate for a scouting role.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 12-13 & 65 Hawk Moth II - Stats.</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 335 Hawk Moth II Gunship - Stats.</ref>	+	The Hawk Moth II's weaponry is intended engage enemy units at intermediate and close ranges.
