Overview:
    When Amaris took control of the Terra and a large portion of the Terran Hegemony, he gained
    control of the heart of the Star League's manufacturing infrastructure, giving his Rim
    Worlds forces access to the newest prototypes being developed for the SLDF.
    
    
    
    The Jackrabbit was a product of Skobel MechWorks on Terra.  It was originally meant to serve
    in the ranks of the SLDF, but none were ever deployed by Kerensky's army.  The entire
    production run fell into the hands of Amaris' Rim Worlds forces, and were used against the
    SLDF in the war that followed.

Capabilities:
    The Jackrabbit was an unorthodox light 'mech for its time, although some light 'mechs
    developed in later eras, especially the Valkyrie, have followed its configuration.
    
    
    
    The weapons chosen give the Jackrabbit a flexible strike envelope.  A Delta Dart LRM-10
    launcher equipped with Artemis targeting gear gives the Jackrabbit a long range punch
    capable of disabling a light 'mech.  A Magna medium laser is carried for dealing with
    armored opponents that get in under the LRM's effective range, and a Sperry Browning machine
    gun provides point defense against ambushing infantry.
    
    
    
    The Jackrabbit's speed allowed it to operate as a scout or raider, and in a pitched fight
    its LRMs were useful in support of heavier elements.

Deployment:
    The Jackrabbit was a stable in Stefan Amaris' light lances, and saw heavy action in all
    phases of the war against the SLDF.  A considerable number of Jackrabbit's survived the war,
    but General Kerensky refused to use the design.  Most of the surviving specimens were
    preserved by Comstar, and were later converted into the Nexus design during the 31st
    century.
