================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Lynx was designed at Kallon Industries by a group of expert Technicians and MechWarriors
    in response to a Star League contract issued in 2736 after studies of combat reports of the
    early battles between Star League units and the rebellious Periphery states. These reports
    indicated a need for a 'Mech with more firepower in the medium weight class, since it
    appeared that firepower and protection were superior to mobility in many of the situations
    that the Star League armies were face with. Kallon Industries modified their Wolverine
    chassis to meet the contract demands, and in doing so, were able to get their design into
    production ahead of the competition. The Kallon production lines, already filled with the
    popular Rifleman
    and Wolverine designs, did not build very many examples of the Lynx. Only 2,500 examples
    were built, and it is a testimony to the basic soundness of the design that 80 of them
    continue to soldier on in the Inner Sphere. Over 1,000 examples left the Inner Sphere with
    Kerensky when he went into exile. The production lines were destroyed early in the First
    Succession War, though there are rumors that Defiance Industries of Hesperus II has obtained
    a rare copy of the Lynx to study in order to undertake production in the near future.

Capabilities:
    The Lynx has been nicknamed "The Medium 'Mech that thinks it's a heavy''. Its design staff
    insured that the 'Mech would be easy to maintain and that modular components were used
    throughout its construction. It also ensured that the Mechwarrior had a comfortable
    environment and good firepower at all ranges. Its Maximilian 65 armor is the heaviest armor
    that one can find on a medium 'Mech. Its Tek BattleCom communications system makes it a
    useful command vehicle for Medium Lances or in Regimental Command Lances. In the Lynx, the
    Wolverine chassis underwent only slight modification. The SRM-4 and a medium laser were
    installed where the SRM-6 launcher is on the Wolverine. The ball turret was done away with
    in response to complaints from 'Mechwarriors concerning the restricted vision from the
    cockpit, and from Techs complaining about the turret's maintenance time. A drum LRM-5
    launcher similar to the Shadow Hawk's was mounted on the right torso. The Lynx's drawback is
    its lack of jump jets and relatively slow speed for its size. In actual battle conditions,
    however, the Lynx makes up for its lack of mobility by its heavy armor and heavier
    firepower.

Deployment:
    [published on BattleTechnology Issue #9; design by Robert A Gross Jr]

Variants:
    The LYN-6X variant removes the missile racks and replaces them with a
    large laser in the left torso and adds one heat sink in the right torso. This variant was
    designed with raiding and guerilla warfare in mind, since it would not be dependent on
    missile reloads. The LYN-7X removes the LAM rack in favor of 4 jump jets and an additional
    heat sink. This variant was designed for hard fighting in rough terrain, where jump jets
    would be necessary for mobility. Neither variant was produced in large quantities; it is
    estimated that less than 15 each of these types still exist in the Inner Sphere.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Captain Steven Fortna With 24 'Mech kills, including an Atlas, and
    credit for two Demolisher tanks; Capt Fortna is the most successful MechWarrior in the
    Horsemen of the Apocalypse mercenary unit. He is respected within the unit for his tactical
    ability and his bravery. He is known for standing fast against much larger enemy units to
    enable the rest of his company to execute the effective "Block and Sweep" tactic.
