================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Night Raven was a scout design that entered Comguard service in 3066. However several
    were captured and pressed into service by rebel forces during the last battles of the Fedcom
    Civil War, and some of these were held by merc units such as the Blue Star Irregulars and
    the Kell Hounds. The prototype was built on the chassis of a Raven-3L obtained by ROM at an
    unknown point in time.
    
    
    
    (I'm sorry if some part of this is impossible. I lost all of my Battletech related material
    except for some of the novels and PC games years ago so I'm not clear on when some
    technologies entered production.)

Capabilities:
    This mech is designed for stealth runs and EW support for a lance. While the 4 ER medium
    lasers give it a decent punch for it's size it is not reccomended for duels. It would do
    very well as a scout for artillery and Arrow IV units. The Jump Jets were placed in the
    torso due to the lack of room in the legs.

Deployment:
    Mostly in the Comguard but several see service in the Lyran Alliance and the reborn
    Federated Suns. Others see service in merc units and it's possible that the Word of Blake
    posesses the design or has produced some of these units on its own.
