Overview:
    By 3054, issues with the Jade Falcon's current front line units were starting to show. New
    designs from the Inner Sphere and other clan designs were making strides, while the
    venerable Summoner and Hellbringer were starting to show their age. Intending to make a
    battlemech that could compete with the Timber Wolf in pod space and armor while retaining
    the characteristic mobility of the Summoner, designers drew on experience gathered during
    the somewhat troubled development of the Night Gyr.
    
    Among the primary concerns with the new mech was pod space. Desiring a machine with the same
    performance characteristics as the Summoner with the same tonnage, a simple solution was to
    start using Endosteel for the construction. To keep pod space high, fixed jump jets were not
    included. Taking other design cues from the Fire Falcon and Turkina, along with gifted
    Cauldron Born, the new design would noticably different in appearance from the two machines
    it was designed to replace.
    
    With 31 tons of pod space and ten and a half tons of armor, the Harrower sports 13 integral
    heatsinks. With a top speed of 86 kilometers per hour, the Harrower more than keeps up with
    the designs it's intended to replace, and compliments the slower Night Gyr very well. While
    the Harrower swiftly strikes the foe and holds them in place, the Night Gyr pounds them down
    with overwhelming firepower

Capabilities:
    The D configuration is a take on the Hellbringer Prime, first brought into service by pilots
    of that notoriously hot mech, and almost certainly drawing inspiration from the classic
    Warhammer. The primary weaponry is a pair of ER PPC's mounted in the arms. A trio of medium
    lasers in the right torso provide an immense burst of damage at close range, and the left
    torso hosts a Streak SRM6, and a pair of anti-missile systems. A targeting computer in the
    right torso links all the energy weapons together, while an ECM suite in the left torso
    interferes with enemy electronic devices. The Harrower D mounts six additional heat sinks in
    order to handle the immense amounts of heat generated by its energy weapons, and it can
    still get uncomfortably hot from an alpha strike - but unlike the Hellbringer Prime, won't
    potentially detonate all of its ammunition if an aggressive pilot presses the limits.
