Overview:
       The last two decades have been a time of opportunity for Defiance
   Industries, with the technological renaissance solidifying their
   reputation as the principle 'Mech manufacturer in the Inner Sphere.
   New BattleMech designs have rolled off the production lined buried in
   the Myoo Mountains, including the Cobra Medium 'Mech and Salamander
   Assault 'Mech. Brandel Gareth's abortive revolt in 3057 could have
   cost the company dearly. Instead, the brief conflict brought to light
   a number of design flaws in the company's new flagship model, the
   Defiance BattleMech, production of which was immediately suspended.
   Rather that allowing this setback to derail their plans, Defiance
   immediately began work on a new design, the Fafnir Assault
   BattleMech, intended to showcase the companies abilities. Prototypes
   entered service in late 3061, and full-scale production is expected
   to commence in early 3063.

Capabilities:
       Borrowing heavily from the Atlas, also produced on Hesperus, the
   Fafnir epitomizes the Lyran philosophy of size and strength rather
   than finesse. Massing a hundred tons with almost twenty tons of
   armor, the design is impervious to all but the heaviest -- or
   luckiest -- of shots. A sophisticated Guardian ECM suite adds to the
   'Mechs defenses, hindering the operation of enemy targeting and
   communication systems. Like the Atlas, the Fafnir has a top speed of
   54 kph, though its fusion plant is twice the mass of the older
   machine. Though reducing the design's payload by 10 tons, it was
   argued that this increased its survivability, eliminating engine KOs
   due to side-torso destruction. It also ensured sufficient space was
   available for the design's principle armament, a pair of Hammerfist
   heavy gauss rifles. These massive weapons, nicknamed "Thor's Hammer,"
   combine range and firepower to deadly effect and, despite the systems
   drawbacks, are extremely popular in the LAAF. The greatest criticism
   leveled at the design is its over-reliance on the Hammerfists, with
   only a pair of extended range medium lasers and a single medium pulse
   laser to defend the 'Mech if it exhausts its ammunition.

Deployment:
       Prototype Fafnirs have deployed to pro-Katherine units along the
   Jade Falcon border, as well as to "patriotic" units like the Royal
   Guard, where it has replaced older designs like the Banshee and Zeus
   Assault BattleMechs. Though ill suited to general patrol operations,
   the design has found a home among assault units, particularly those
   assigned to breach enemy lines and fortifications. One such unit is
   the VS (Valiant Stormer) company of the Third Lyran Guards on
   Graceland, who have been impressed by the Fafnirs performance in
   exercises, nicknaming it "mugger" because of its combination of
   simplicity and brutality.

Known Variants:
       This chassis is a variant of the Fafnir FNR-5 Prime design.
