Overview:
With a name like Ninjaken, one would expect this attack VTOL to be a Product of
Luthien Armor Works or Scarborough Industries.  the fact is that the Ninjaken
was built by Avalon Arms for a very specific purpose.  the elimination of the
so called "Samurai" class Battlemechs


Capabilities:
Avalon arms was ordered to spare no expense when designing the Ninjaken, the
use of an XL fusion engine, a difficult to install and maintain chin turret and
heavy ferro fibrous armor shows that this direction was taken very seriously.


the keystone to the Ninjaken however is the Large Re Engineered Laser, wich has
the unique capability to punch through the Hardened armor these popular and
increasingly widespread mechs have become famous for.


Deployment
the first squadrons of Ninjaken have made it through their shakedown trails and
have been issued to the Light Davion Guards, where the best VTOL Pilot and
gunner teams are being reassigned wherever they can be found.  meanwhile Avalon
Arms has stepped up production with plans that multiple squadrons of the
vehicle will be issued to the entirety of the Avalon Hussars and Crucis Lancers
in hopes of pushing back the Dragon's armies.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Kind of hard to argue with something fast as the dickens that does not care what kind of armor you have. The shiro and hitosume kozo are mor vunerable cause they have less armor per ton the the rukurokubi.

The re engineered laser rules also make this a threat to the mad cat and vulture mk iv, since it bypasses ferro lam's damage reduction as well

when I built this in SAW I used the large Variable speed Pulse laser, since it matched tonnage and heat with the Large Re-Engineered.  Copst and BV may not be accurate.
