Description
The Talon was first deployed in 2670 to provide light BattleMech companies much needed long-range firepower and punch. The BattleMech was wildly successful, with sales to the Star League High Command quickly surpassing all other light BattleMechs. The success of the Talon outlived the first Star League, but the BattleMech was never able to flourish during the First Succession War, as the rate of attrition equaled the rate of production. When the Inarcs facility was nuked in 2815, the fate of the Talon was sealed. The last Talon was cannibalized for parts during the first year of the Second Succession War, 2830.

Description
A largely lost Star League Defense Force design, the Talon went extinct in the Inner Sphere during the Second Succession War. However, the Clans never lost the design and even refit it during the Golden Century with updated technology. The TLN-5W-EC is the same as the SLDF TLN-5W except that it swaps the PPC for a then-newly-invented Enhanced ER PPC. Otherwise, the -EC is as the SLDF made it. The Talon EC largely found its way into low-ranking garrison forces and was forgotten by even the Clans in time.

Description
This variant replaces the engine with a Light Engine that can only propel the Talon up to 119 km/h, but is cheaper and more durable. The 5Z also makes use of an Endo Steel chassis and Ferro-Fibrous armor to make up the difference in mass. The armament is replaced with a pair of arm-mounted ER Large Lasers, though the loss of a heat sink forces the MechWarrior to carefully manage his or her heat. A C3 Slave Unit is included so that the Talon can be incorporated into a C3 lance. This variant proved unpopular in the Lyran Alliance, so Blackstone exports it to the Draconis Combine and Federated Suns.
