Men Shen

With advanced sensors, the Men Shen can detect and even identify enemy forces long before it shows up on enemy sensors. And, with the ECM suite, it can also "jam" enemy sensors and escape detection completely. As with most Liao designs, the Men Shen is fast compared to other 'Mechs of similar weight.

Raven

The Raven's mobile sensor and electronic warfare equipment can detect enemies at extreme ranges, while also blinding hostile sensor frequencies with its Guardian ECM suite. It is almost always accompanied by a team of ’Mechs as it has limited offensive and defensive capabilities.

Razorback

Serving House Steiner as a scout 'Mech, the Razorback also comes equipped to handle short- to medium-range combat. Its specialty is short-range reconnaissance, but a crafty pilot in a Razorback should take the opportunity to make a name for himself when confronted with other Light 'Mechs.

Ryoken

Extended-Range Lasers make the Ryoken a powerful fire platform. Historically a multifaceted 'Mech for Clan Smoke Jaguar and other clans, the Ryoken now offers commanders a wealth of deployment options. It is capable of covering a fair amount of territory and is devastatingly effective when given the advantage of surprise.

Sha Yu

With a powerful mix of speed, jump jets, ferro-fibrous armor, and well-rounded firepower, the Sha Yu excels in small firefights. Although it rarely delivers the knockout blow to opposing forces, the medium chassis of the Sha Yu lets it take up so many fire positions that the enemy may start to feel outnumbered when confronted with it.

Shadow Cat

Ideal for reconnaissance missions, the Shadow Cat can lay waste to structures and small groups of Light 'Mechs used as sentries with its long-range Gauss Rifle, jump jets, and blistering top speed. Many commanders have boasted in victory how the Shadow Cat devalues its own intelligence data by destroying the very units it identifies for reports to Headquarters.

Shootist

The name Shootist is somewhat misleading for this 'Mech, since it boasts superior armor protection as well as abundant firepower. The Shootist is clearly designed to withstand enough punishment to close with the enemy and destroy them with its powerful short-range Heavy Autocannon and Laser weapon layout.

Starslayer

Ideal for reconnaissance missions, the Shadow Cat can lay waste to structures and small groups of Light 'Mechs used as sentries with its long-range Gauss Rifle, jump jets, and blistering top speed. Many commanders have boasted in victory how the Shadow Cat devalues its own intelligence data by destroying the very units it identifies for reports to Headquarters.

Thor

Often employed by the Clanners of Jade Falcon, the Thor is a favorite among aggressive MechWarriors who require a 'Mech capable of closing quickly and finishing an opponent. Possessing a powerful engine and jump capable, the Thor performs its duties easily with the aid of an Ultra Heavy Autocannon and Streak Short-Range Missiles.

Uller

With a weapons loadout of mixed ranges and impressive speed, the Uller is one of the most versatile ’Mechs available. Often seen in the field with surprisingly heavy weapons, the Uller can level other Light ’Mechs quickly. Close fighting with multiple ’Mechs of any tonnage will quickly wear out the Uller’s armor and ammunition, but as combat support it serves its commanders well.

UrbanMech

The light UrbanMech was designed for close fighting in city environments that might encumber other vehicles. It is heavily armored for its weight class.

Vulture

The Vulture is a fire-support 'Mech that can pound enemies from a distance with its long-range missile batteries. If anything survives this initial onslaught, the Vulture can simply finish the job with its ample laser weaponry.

Wolfhound

A capable though lightly armored scout, the Wolfhound carries multiple lasers, including two ER Large Lasers. Creative commanders find the perfect configuration that allows the Wolfhound to excel in fire support, but it is rarely seen off sentry or recon duty. Among scouts, the Wolfhound may be regarded as an offensive threat to some degree.

Zeus

Designed to lay down continual barrages of missile and energy weapons fire, the Zeus has one of the best heat dissipation systems found in any 'Mech. The effectiveness of this design has held up through history, with current models still bearing the PPC and Long-Range Missiles of their predecessors.
