==Overview:==
Although the Smoke Jaguars generally disdain lighter-weight BattleMechs, they
do field the excellent Mist Lynx. With their high proportion of heavy and
assault class BattleMechs, they made no attempt at fitting this BattleMech
with with long-range weapons; rather, they maximized mobility and short-range
firepower to support the slower, heavier, less maneuverable BattleMechs.
Although examples of the Mist Lynx have spread throughout Clan space from
those machines captured as isorla, production remains concentrated on
Huntress--where all Smoke Jaguar BattleMechs are produced and fiercely
defended by two full Galaxies of Jaguar Warriors.




==Capabilities:==
The Mist Lynx masses 30-tons and features endo-steel internal structure and
five and a half tons of ferro-fibrous armor protection in order to save
tonnage for weapon systems. A smaller 210-rate extra-light fusion provides
sufficient power to allow walking speeds of 75.6 kilometers per hour and
running speeds of 118.8 kph, while seven jump jets give this Light BattleMech
a 210-meter jump capacity.

Although slower than the majority of Clan Light BattleMechs, the Mist Lynx is
heavily armed with mid- and short-range weaponry. Two ER Medium Lasers (right
arm and head) are the longest-range weapons on this BattleMech, backed up by
twin Streak SRM-4 racks (right torso and left torso). The Jaguars allocated
only a single ton of SRM ammo in the center torso, but with the no lock-no
fire feature of the Streaks this is usually sufficient for any trial. At even
closer ranges, a pair of AP Gauss Rifles provides light anti-Mech/anti-Vehicle
support, and well as fearsome anti-infantry capacity.

Provided that both Streak packs lock on to a target, the Mist Lynx can
overheat by quite a bit, but normally just one will lock and the excess heat
produced is then quite managable. Still, this is a machine that can quickly
become heavily overheated, and it lacks to speed to open the range while
cooling down afterwards.



==Variants:==
The Mist Lynx Mk XXX Mod SJ-2 has only had a handful of prototypes produced
and may, in fact, have already been cancelled by the Jaguar Khans. This
variant removes both Streak SRM packs and the ammunition to fit eight ER Small
Lasers into the torsos and arms, along with one additional double-strength
heat sink. A pure infighter, the Mod SJ-2 runs blistering hot and can easily
overwhelm its pilot, but is capable of inflicting incredible damage at
point-blank range.


==Deployment==
The Jaguars are the only major users of the Mist Lynx, however, several other
Clans have won possession of individual BattleMechs of this class in various
trials. No other Clan has yet obtained permission to produce this BattleMech
to date.
