==Description and a Brief History==
 
==Description and a Brief History==
The '''''Hyena''''' was created as an arena, and later battlefield, [[SalvageMech]] by the [[Vining Engineering and Salvage Team]] of [[Solaris VII]]. The design was originally built from converted ''[[Kintaro]]'' [[BattleMech]]s, and were later offered for sale in [[3066]]. VEST only finished one production run prior to the [[Word of Blake]] sacking Solaris VII in [[3068]]. First production units went to various [[mercenary]] groups, [[Great Houses]], and even several [[Periphery]] nations, including the [[Rim Collection]]. VEST even sold one ''Hyena'' at reduced price to a specialized salvage team, [[Skibinski's Salvage]], in order to showcase their SalvageMech's abilities to various prospective customers through the unit's travels.<ref name=MSUp150>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', pp. 150–152: "New Vehicles - HYN-4A Hyena SalvageMech"</ref>

The 'Mech is capable of lifting over 100 tons with its [[lift hoist]]s and [[Industrial TSM|Industrial Grade TSM]]. The 'Mech is equipped with a [[Salvage Arm]] in its right arm [[actuator]], while its two [[lift hoist]]s are mounted on the rear of each side torso. The design is [[Environmental Sealing|environmentally sealed]] from hostile conditions. The 'Mech is armed with a single [[Defiance B3S]] [[small laser]] to fend off scavengers and would-be [[infantry]] attackers.<ref name=MSUp150/>
