Editing Lyran Commonwealth (section)

==== Notable BattleMechs ====
* '''''Alfar''''' - A properly Lyran version of a Medium BattleMech, meaning it's on the heavier scale and packed to the gills with specialty weapons. While it was very good for it's time, all of the special equipment used in it's construction meant that it ultimately became too costly to repair, and the design went extinct just after the First Succession War, replaced by the designs it was intended to replace.
* '''''Barghest''''' - A heavy, hunched over quadruped 'Mech that was designed to strike fear in the same way the ''[[Atlas]]'' is intended to. To do that, the weight-savings gained from it's Extralight Fusion Engine is poured into it's weapon systems, a pair of ER-Large Lasers that can hit from half a horizon away and an LB-X Autocannon/20 for anything that gets up close. While simple, if it's autocannon ever jams, almost half of it's destructive power will go with it.
* '''''Berserker''''' - A truly Lyran Assault 'Mech, in that it's as unga-bunga brain as possible; Having a hatchet, a pair of large pulse lasers, and a Flamer on it, just to make sure. It's also got an ER PPC, but that's mostly used to force opponents into running or fooling them into getting them into closer range.
* '''''[[Commando]]''''' - The smallest 'Mech the Lyrans will ever tolerate using, an honor born from centuries of reliable service in combat and the fact that it lives up to the phrase "punches above it's weight", using two separate SRM systems and a medium laser to give even certain heavy 'Mechs trouble. It's pretty easy to pick off, but it's primarily a hit-and-run specialist that the Lyrans use to either open holes for the Assault 'Mechs to widen, or land the killing blow from all the holes opened by said Assault 'Mechs.
* '''''[[Fafnir]]''''' - An Assault 'Mech, in that it is 100 tons and has legs. In practice, the ''Fafnir'' is mostly just a platform for a pair of ridiculously large Heavy Gauss rifles, which dominate the front of the 'Mech, and can put a pair of large projectiles straight through a 'Mech at close-range. It has as much armor as some of the lighter 'Mechs in the universe weigh, and really can't be too far from the supply lines, for while it's enormous guns are prodigious, it's only got a pair of medium lasers and a pulse laser for when it's Gauss rifles run out of ammo.
* '''''[[Griffin]]''''' - A medium 'Mech that's been around since the Star League. Sporting a PPC and LRM-10, the 'Mech excels as a long-range sniper 'Mech, hitting targets from afar and avoiding close range combat. These 'Mech have been a favorite of the Lyrans, and at least two of them stand guard in the Archon's throne room to emphasis on the Lyrans "bigger is better" mindset. 
* '''''Thunder Hawk''''' - Your typical Lyran Assault 'Mech, in that it could flatten a city on it's own, is almost as armored as an ''Atlas'' but moves slower than most other 'Mechs. It packs three Gauss rifles and four medium lasers as it's armament, of which the Gauss rifles are it's main threat.
* '''''Wolfhound''''' - A light 'Mech which was designed to counter the Draconis Combines Panther 'Mech. Armed with Large Laser and four medium laser the 'Mech was prone to overheating when it fired its weapons repeatedly. The re-introduction of Star League tech help alleviate some of this problems though. 
* '''''Zeus''''' - Because the rest of the Inner Sphere wasn't indulging the Lyran military in glorious 'Mech close-combat, the armed forces requested a design that would play down to their standards, and what they got was a rugged, 80-ton hit-and-run 'Mech, truly showing just where the priorities for the Commonwealth really are. It's able to keep up with 'Mechs lighter than itself, and carries an AC/5, an LRM-15 for long-range, and it's signature design strengths; a Large Laser/Two Small Laser combo that was made smaller than normal to save on weight. Got upgraded to the ''Zeus X'' during the Clan invasion with more armor, guns, and internal power.
*'''''[[Hollander]]''''' - A lightweight 'Mech designed to be an artillery unit, it basically took a small 'Mech and mated it with a Gauss rifle to serve as a portable fire support unit. Naturally, the Lyrans weren't too fond of the design.
*'''''Hatchetman''''' - A product of the Davion-Steiner alliance, designed by New Avalon as a successor to the [[UrbanMech]].  It's a full weight class heavier, retains the Urban's AC/10 but upgrades the laser to a pair of mediums, and carries a giant fuckoff axe.  If you've been paying attention, it should come as no surprise: the Lyrans adored it and replaced many of their [[UrbanMech|angry eggs]] with it.
