Description
The Ion Sparrow was introduced by Clan Jade Falcon on Alyina as an experimental testbed for the advanced Partial Wing system. Later a warrior assigned to the project determined that it would be very effective as a scout and a harasser, and petitioned for its inclusion in the touman. The Ion Sparrow is also frequently used as a trainer for new warrior sibkos. The Lyran Intelligence Corps designated the 'Mech the Butcherbird prior to finding out the Jade Falcons' name for the 'Mech.[2]
Weapons and Equipment
The Ion Sparrow uses an Endo Steel chassis, XL Engine, and Ferro-Fibrous armor to save weight. It also uses a Small Cockpit to save more weight. Eight jump jets have been mounted in the right and left torso; Paired with the Partial Wing, this allows the Ion Sparrow to cover 300 meters per jump. The wing also works with the double heat sinks to dissipate more heat. However, despite the weight saving equipment installed the 'Mech only has four tons of pod space available.
The primary configuration of the Ion Sparrow carries two Improved Heavy Medium Lasers in the left arm, and a pair of AP Gauss Rifles in the right arm. A ton of ammunition is provided in the right torso.
Alternate Configurations
- Alternate Configuration A
- An anti-infantry scout configuration carries an Active Probe in the left torso. Each arm carries four Light Machine Guns mounted in a Machine Gun Array. The right torso carries a half-ton of machine gun ammunition. BV (2.0) = 501[3]
- Alternate Configuration C
- Apparently a replacement for the Fire Moth, this configuration carries three ER Small Lasers in each arm. The six lasers are tied into a Targeting Computer. BV (2.0) = 889[3]
- Alternate Configuration D
- This configuration carries a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the left arm and a single Medium Pulse Laser in the right arm. BV (2.0) = 1,121[3]
