Manufactured both by the [[Clans]] and [[Inner Sphere]] the '''''Jade Hawk''''' is nominally one of a new series of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] [[totem BattleMech]]s.
  
Developed at the urging of then-[[Galaxy Commander]] [[Malvina Hazen]], the ''Jade Hawk'' was indicative of the Jade Falcons' attempt to create several new totemic Mechs to revitalize their Clan and displays birdlike talons on its arms and legs, wings that serve both an aesthetic purpose and aid in heat dissipation. While intended to be exclusive to the Falcons, a disgruntled tech who despised now-''[[Khan]]'' Hazen's [[Mongol Doctrine|"Mongol" philosophy]], defected to [[Clan Sea Fox]] with a copy of the plans, sharing them on the stipulation that it not be made available to the other Clans. To this end the Sea Foxes reached an agreement with [[Galatea]]-based [[Dynamic Ordnance and Ammunition Corp]], supplying the plans and contracts for Clan-spec components to make its manufacture possible for sale on the [[mercenary]] market. <ref name=TRO3145M-40>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 40 "JHK-03 Jade Hawk"</ref><ref name=TRO3150-174>''Technical Readout: 3150'', pp. 174-175 "Jade Hawk"</ref>

The DOA-manufactured ''Jade Hawk'' devotes considerable mass to its 375 [[XL engine]] and thirteen and half tons of armor plate, making it extremely fast for its size and carrying the maximum armor its frame can support, only enhanced by the inclusion of a [[supercharger]]. DOA also added an Inner Sphere touch by the inclusion of a pair of fearsome [[Claw]]s and [[Triple Strength Myomer]]s, enhancing the ''Jade Hawk'''s physical combat abilities and boosting its speed in heavy combat yet further.<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Relatively lightly armed for a heavy BattleMech, the ''Jade Hawk'' is equipped only with four Series 1g [[ER Small Laser]]s and a set of four Mk. 22 Type III [[SRM-6]]s, as well as the claws on its extremities, which make for impressive brawling weapons used for [[Death from Above]] attacks, and grappling, among other uses in close combat. This combination of melee and short ranged weaponry, heavy armor, and speed (rivaling 'Mechs a third of its tonnage) make the ''Jade Hawk'' a powerful close-in fighter and a force to be reckoned with in urban environments.<ref name=TRO3145M-40/><ref name=TRO3150-174/>

*; JHK-04 : DOA's support model, JHK-04 drops the jump jets, partial wing, advanced myomers and supercharger in exchange for a pair of torso-mounted [[Streak LRM-15]] launchers imported from the Sea Foxes.
