Description
A 3050s variant of the Hornet, pioneered by Wolf's Dragoons, the -161 looks very much like the 151 with a mild upgrade in materials. Built on an Endo-Steel chassis with Ferro-Fibrous armor for weight savings, the -161 carries the same Small and Medium Lasers and LRM-5 of its predecessor. However, it carries twice the ammo in a CASE'd bin. In terms of speed and armor, the HNT-161 is almost exactly the same as the -151.

Description
The 'modern' Hornet, the HNT-171 has brought new life to the mech after decades of the regular low-tech ones. While the weapons remain similar to Hornets of ages past with a Medium Laser and LRM-5 with a two ton CASE'd bin, the -171 mixes things up by mounting an Anti-Missile System for added support purposes. Otherwise, the mech is very much like its progenitors.

Description
Given the Davion predilection for the little Hornet and their love of autocannons, it was only a matter of time until this mech was created. The HNT-175 is built on the modern -171 chassis but enhanced further with a 120-rated Light Fusion Engine. The Endo-Steel and Ferro-Fibrous construction allow the -175 to carry a Light AC/5 in the right torso along with one ton of CASE'd ammo. A singular Medium Laser provides energy backup if needed. The HNT-175 has been put to solid use by Davion divisions in the FedCom Civil War, by both factions.

Description
A simple fire support design fresh from the minds at Periphery Armory, Inc, the Hornet-191 uses old-style Light Plating to save on weight, allowing a swap of all the Hornet's weaponry for a Large Chemical Laser and a ton of ammo. This gives the 20-tonner some real punch at range, something most foes aren't expecting.
