================================================================================================
Overview:
    After the limited local success of the Dirk Battlemech, Armstrong Tractor and Armory Co.
    began searching for another prospective design to sell. The result was the Arrow, a
    lightweight scout designed along the lines of the older Stinger, but five tons heavier.
    While a capable scout with excellent mobility, ATA was unfortunately unable to keep costs
    down as they had with earlier projects, and the Arrow never made it far beyond the local
    systems where it was cheaper to ship the mech to buyers.
    
    ATA would eventually update the Arrow with lostech, seeking to provide a buyer with a
    product actually worth the price, but by the time this happened the mech was simply
    forgotten. ATA would only maintain a special order option for the Arrow after 3081.

Capabilities:
    The Arrow is quite maneuverable for a scout, comparable to or faster than the well-known
    Stinger or Locust. A Pitban 175 provides a top speed of 118 km/h and 7 Pitban LFT 50 jump
    jets allow 210 meters of jumping distance.
    
    Clad in 5 tons of Durallex standard armor, the Arrow has a very light weapons payload. A
    Defiance B3M medium laser in the center torso is supplemented by a Defiance B3S small laser
    in each arm. 10 single heat sinks provides plenty of cooling for a 'mech that should rarely
    engage in direct combat.
