== Description ==<br />
The '''''Corvis''''' [[BattleMech]] sees very little use on the modern battlefield; in fact, only [[Clan Hell's Horses]] still manufactures this obsolete design. The ''Corvis'' was one of the predecessors to the [[OmniMech]], utilizing the same semi-modular ports as the [[Star League]] ''[[Mercury (BattleMech)|Mercury]]'' BattleMech. [[Clan]] technicians eventually expanded upon this design to create the ''[[Stormcrow]]'', and with the development of that front-line OmniMech, all of the Clans save the Horses lost interest in the ''Corvis'', which was often derided as too slow for its weight class. In fact, the ''Corvis''' only saving grace is its use of [[jump jet]]s, because they allow the medium-range 'Mech to be useful when on restricting terrain, such as urban environments. The ''Corvis'' was often deployed as support for conventional troops, such as [[combat vehicle]]s and [[infantry]], so it only seems natural that the Horses would want to keep producing it.<ref name=TRO3060/><br />
<br />
== Weapons and Equipment ==<br />
The ''Corvis'' is built on a [[Model MH-24]] [[endo steel]] chassis, protected by seven tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor; a good thing since it is so slow. This low speed is due to the 160-rated [[fusion engine]] that powers the 'Mech. Thankfully this low speed is augmented by four [[Model KT Boosters]] [[jump jet]]s, giving the ''Corvis'' a jump range of 120 meters.<br />
<br />
The main gun of the ''Corvis'' is its [[Type DL]] [[UAC/10]], backed up by a pair of [[Series 14a]] [[medium pulse laser]]s. These guns enable the ''Corvis'' to operate effectively in medium to short ranges. Between the generous supply of autocannon ammunition and 10 [[double heat sink]]s that keep the 'Mech chilled, the ''Corvis'' can operate without resupply for a respectable amount of time.<ref name=TRO3060/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*; ''Corvis'' 2 : This variant was produced during the [[Jihad]] era in [[3075]],<ref name=MUL/> utilizing new technologies. The original's [[UAC/10]] has been replaced by a [[HAG 20|Class 20 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle]] with three tons of ammunition. The left arm-mounted [[medium pulse laser]]s were similarly replaced with [[heavy medium laser]]s. The 'Mech's accuracy has been improved with the addition of a [[targeting computer]] mounted in the left torso.
