================================================================================================
Overview:
    Based in large part on the SLDF Falcon, the Jade Falcons and Nova Cats jointly developed the
    Frost Falcon to provide ECM support and long-ranged firepower to their light BattleMech
    Stars. Although the design is much sought after by other Clans, only limited numbers of
    isorla have made their way into their ranks.  Recently, the Wolves have acquired production
    rights to the design as well.

Capabilities:
    The Frost Falcon is a 30-ton BattleMech that incorporates a 240-rate extra-light fusion
    engine at its core. This engine gives the Light unit a walking speed of 86.4 kilometers per
    hour and a running speed of 129.6 kph. Eight jump jets are fitted to the design, allowing
    the Frost Falcon to jump up to 240 meters in a single bounce.
    The internal skeleton consists of endo-steel, and the design incorporates a total of five
    and half tons of ferro-fibrous armor plating, providing the Frost Falcon with the absolute
    maximum amount of armor available on a 30-ton chassis. Armament consists of a right-arm
    mounted ER Large Laser to deal with BattleMechs, Aerospace Fighters, and Vehicles at range.
    The Frost Falcon also includes an ECM suite in the head, providing electronic-warfare
    coverage for its Star, an Active Probe in the right torso, and a TAG system in the left arm.
    Although just the standard ten double-strength heat sinks were mounted on the design, this
    allows for the use of all weapons and movement modes for zero net excess heat creation.

Deployment:
    Among the Falcons, the Frost Falcon is found in nearly every Light BattleMech Star, and many
    Medium Stars as well. It is a favored BattleMech among the Warriors of that Clan who prize
    its mobility, armor protection, and heat efficiency. While firepower may be below what these
    Crusaders normally desire, none can deny the effectiveness of this light unit in its
    assigned role.
    The Wolves have so far deployed only a handful of these light 'Mechs, mainly as a jumping
    counterpart to their own Ice Ferret design.  Nearly half of the annual Wolf production goes
    to the Scorpions, however, who have their own variant that the Wolves produce.

Variants:
    Clan Jade Falcon's Mod JF removes the Active Probe and TAG in order to mount two AP Gauss
    Rifles in the left arm, with all other system remaining the same.  This version is more
    widely accepted among the Clans as it possesses slightly more firepower and does not include
    the much disliked TAG system as standard equipment.
    The Clan Wolf Mod W is a simple modification of the Mod JF that replaces the ECM Suite with
    an Active Probe.  This version provides the eyes and ears for many Wolf Striker Clusters.
    Although they do not have the rights to manufacture the Frost Falcon, the Scorpions have
    managed to negotiate with the Wolves to have several units custom built for them each year.
    This model (Mod GS) removes the ECM Suite and replaces it with a one-ton targeting computer
    module.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Unknown.
