The Raven is a mobile sensor and electronic warfare specialist, carrying
equipment to detect enemies while blinding then with its counter measures
(ECM) suite. It is almost always accompanied by a team of 'Mechs as it has
limited offensive and defensive capabilities.
Hellespont Industries on the planet Sian perfected the Raven with the
introduction of the Hermes 210 XL engine. Space saved with the smaller
engine permits the Raven to carry the target acquisition and interference
electronics that turn the tide of battle to its team.
Although in combat it cannot offer much more than light firepower, the
Raven's auxilary capabilities makes them invaluable as any Assault -class
'Mech.
