==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Nacon Armored Scout''' was created by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] to act as a recon unit. Instead of using expensive [[BattleMechs]] for recon, this armored scout allows a Falcon commander to find an opponent and direct heavier units into combat. With a top speed of 162 km/h, the Nacon can quickly find an enemy force and disengage. Protection comes from five tons of [[ferro-fibrous armor]], which provides enough protection for quick escapes. However, the rear armor can only withstand a single [[PPC]] hit while the front face can withstand more than four PPC hits. This has encouraged some crews to engage heavier forces head on.
 
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
 
The Nacon uses a single [[ATM-6]] with two tons of ammunition for its main striking power against heavy targets. The missile system is backed up by two [[Light Machine Gun]]s for anti-[[infantry]] and anti-[[battle armor]] work. The relatively light weaponry apparently is used to discourage pursuit rather than engage in a front-line battle.

==Notes==
 
* The Nacon was first created by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its [[MechWarrior: Falcon's Prey|Falcon's Prey]] expansion set. The figure was used by four main factions ([[Clan Jade Falcon]], [[Stormhammers]], [[Northwind Highlanders]], and [[Republic of the Sphere]]) during the release as a common combat vehicle. The Nacon was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]] and expanded availability to include [[Clan Sea Fox]].
