Overview:
    In the aftemath of their excursion into the Lyran Alliance and the subsequent LAAF invasion
    of their OZ in 3064, Clan Jade Falcon obtained thousands of tons of Inner Sphere 'Mechs and
    equipment as salvage.
    
    Though a conservative Crusade Clan, the Jade Falcon Khan Marthe Pryde realized her Touman,
    battered after fighting back-to-back campaigns, needed to utilize every asset available -
    including fielding captured Inner Sphere 'Mechs.
    
    Almost a battalion's worth of one BattleMech in particular, the DVS-2 Devastator - a Star
    League 'Mech said to be designed by Aleksandr Kerensky himself - was salvaged in varying
    condition from both the LAAF forces and from the now defunct Storm's Metal Thunder mercenary
    command.
    
    Khan Marthe Pryde ordered Jade Falcon technicians to piece together a Clan version of the
    'Mech, heeding Clan doctrine to minimize as much waste as possible, she ordered her
    technicians and engineers to use as much of the original salvaged chassis as possible to
    marginalize the resources and time needed to design a new BattleMech.
    
    Although the first run of Devastator IIC's use several salvaged subsystems produced in the
    Inner Sphere, the Jade Falcons have already begun tooling a production line on Sudeten to
    ensure they can continue the manufacture of Devastator IIC's even after their surplus
    salvage runs out.

Capabilities:
    The Falcon techs devised a method of converting Inner Sphere 300XL fusion reactors salvaged
    en masse from the Metal Thunder Devastators and the Marauders and Marauder II's of the late
    Barber's Marauder II's on Koniz to work in conjunction with Clan
    'Mechs. In essence, they were retrofitting Inner Sphere reactors as a fraction of the cost
    and resources it would take to build a Clan reactor.
    
    Jade Falcon engineers rebuilt several Devastators out of salvage from the ground up to gain
    complete working knowledge on the ins-and-outs of the structure, documenting it all to
    reproduce their own chassis at a new manufacturing site on Sudeten. These first runs are
    powered by the retrofitted Inner Sphere reactors, though newer Devastator IIC's will  be
    equipped with Clan fusion reactors as the supply of salvage engines runs out.
    
    Superior Clan technology replaces the dated Spheroid weapon systems; the Devastator IIC
    keeps the main offensive weapons package as the original DVS-2, with an exception of lacking
    the medium lasers of the Inner Sphere 'Mech. As Clan particle projection cannons have
    superior capacitors and lack the minimum range of their lower-tech Inner Sphere
    counterparts, the lasers were deemed unnecessary and replaced with a third ER PPC. The
    addition of a third extended range particle cannon makes the Devastator IIC one of the most
    brutally powerful platforms at any range on the battlefield.
    
    The Clan Devastator IIC has almost an over-abundance of firepower it can bestow upon an
    enemy; not many 'Mechs - Clan or Inner Sphere - can weather through a broadside from so many
    heavy weapons, and the Falcon engineers ensured the Devastator IIC can keep constant fire on
    the enemy thanks to an upgraded heat dissipation system.

Deployment:
    As OmniMechs are short due to losses from the Refusal War, Coventry campaign, and frequent
    border skirmishes with the Lyran Alliance and Wolf Clan, the first Devastator IIC's have
    been posted in front-line assault clusters along side OmniMechs such as the Dire Wolf and
    Turkina. Though the Devastator IIC is an extremely capable assault 'Mech by any standard,
    many Jade Falcon warriors look at it as a bastard combination of Clan and Spheroid
    technology and being assigned to a Devastator IIC is looked upon as a dishonor.
    
    However, as Devastator IIC's begin to trickle into second-line formations, it is gaining
    increased popularity amongst freebirth and older warriors past their prime, a fact that
    angers the truebirths assigned to pilot Devastator IIC's even more.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Star Commander Milko Buhallin - Earning his trial by fire in the 3058 invasion of Coventry,
    Star Commander Milko Buhallin was considered a ristar and successfully became one of the
    youngest Jade Falcon warriors to earn a Bloodname - however during the fighting on Machida,
    Milko Buhallin had his Turkina shot from under him and was the only member of his Star to
    survive the battle. Quickly being reassigned to a Night Gyr and ordered to one of saKhan
    Samantha Clees' clusters, Milko Buhallin was dishonored
    again when his entire Star was destroyed during fighting on Blackjack, his own Night Gyr
    destroyed by a Devastator from the Fourteenth Donegal Guard. To add insult to injury, the
    former ristar was assigned to pilot a Devastator IIC, as he is deemed too incompetent to
    trust yet another OmniMech with.
    
    Star Captain Jefferton - Commanding a garrison trinary on LaGrave, a planet on the Jade
    Falcon/Wolf OZ border, Star Captain Jefferton was assigned to a Devastator IIC shortly
    before the Wolves engaged in their campaign into the Jade Falcon OZ in early 3065. The
    fighting on LaGrave was some of the most intense during the Wolf invasion, and Star Captain
    Jefferton and his Devastator IIC were credited with several kills, mostly OmniMechs, and he
    and  his Devastator IIC have become somewhat celebrities amongst the freebirth warriors of
    Clan Jade Falcon.
