Designer Notes
Elite units such as the Cat's Paws and the Roving Guns that made good use of the Fire Jaguar field conversion durin gthe War of the Alliance argued for the introduction of a properly designed fire support variant of Northco's commando Gear. In TN 1927, high command finally relented and commissioned a new variant designed exclusively for the elite commando/paratrooper market. The result was the Arrow Jaguar released the following cycle. The Arrow design displayed an understanding of the elite unit mind-set. Instead of providing the brute firepower of the Fire Jaguar, the Arrow featured highly precise high explosive weaponry designed for elegant kills, even when providing cover for other units. The armor modifications of the Fire Jaguar were maintained in the production Arrow as was the protective screen affixed to the sensor head. The main weapons system was changed from the area saturation system of the GH-16 rocket pods to the guided precision of twin three-shot Hammerstrike IIb guided missile launchers. Using this system, the Arrow offers pinpoint accuracy in place of its predecessor's raw firepower. Although the model is expensive to maintain, the Arrow opened tactical possibilities to its elite owners and so is well cared for.
