ComStar ROM reports to the Star League Defence Forces 
regarding the new Clan Jade Flacon BattleMech paint the 
second line machine as more important for it's possible 
political ramifications that it's actual combat value. Not that 
it's a weak design, but rather that the Wolfling could be 
viewed as a direct slap in the face of the Wolves. Or as a 
back handed compliment. An excerpt from an intercepted 
transmission between two unidentified Clan Wolf officers 
shows that even they are confused.

"You are ordering me to seek out second line 'Mechs 
to waste my ammunition on?"
"Aff. Take your star towards that depot at Epislon and 
engage any forces you find."
"You will force us into a Circle of Equals Star Colonel. 
There is no rational reason for such an order."
"I am not in the habit of explaining myself to junior officers. 
If you wish to challenge me in a Circle then it is your 
option. Know however that we believe that Epsilon is 
guarded by some of those wretched Falcon Wolflings. I 
want them destroyed."
"Should we not capture them? The design would make a 
fitting addition to our Touman, and I think...."
"Enough talking Star Captain. They are an affront to our 
great Clan. Even the name taunts us. You will go to 
Epsilon and you will destroy any 'Mechs you find or I will 
have you in a Circle of Equals before mid day. I have 
made myself clear, quiaff?"
"Aff Star Colonel. You have made yourself clear."

ROM has offered no opinion on what message, if any, the 
Falcons are trying to send with this scaled down version of 
the Mad Cat / Timber Wolf. While it seems unlikley that 
SLDF troops would encounter any Wolflings in the 
forseeable future, any League friendly forces that choose 
to raid Flacon holdings are warned to beware the 'Mech's 
long range hitting power. To date the Falcons have 
refused or defeated any attempt by other Clans to gain the 
design. Thus at this time none should be expected on 
Clan Wolf or Clan Ghost Bear occupied worlds. 

Capabiltities:
Also included in the transmisison were specs for the 
Wolfling. This mechs name is surprisningly descriptive. 
Mounting twin Lrm 20's and 2 Er large lasers the fifty ton 
mech has formidable long range ability. A pair of medium 
pulse lasers back up this deadly weapons package. The 
mech is identical to its heavyer parent design the Timber 
wolf or Mad Cat, the same in every respect except the 
lower armor avalable to mount on the chassis. With such a 
formidable desing in a mech 2/3'ds the weight clan rules 
of engagement should be weighed before commiting to 
single combat.
