A compromise between speed and firepower, the ''Javelin'' was fast enough to avoid engagements with heavier 'Mechs while still having sufficient firepower to dissuade pursuit. In particular, the 'Mech's maneuverability meant that while its main function was to perform reconnaissance, the ''Javelin'' became adept at conducting ambushes, gaining a reputation for appearing out of nowhere and giving rise to the phrase "sneaky as a ''Javelin''."<ref name=TRO3025/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050>''Technical Readout: 3050'', p. 66</ref><ref name=TRO3050U>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 18</ref> The ''Javelin'' had yet to be integrated into most [[Star League|SLDF]] [[regiments]] when the [[Amaris Civil War]] struck and Stormvanger Assemblies' factory on [[Caph]] was destroyed in [[2774]], ending all production of the ''Javelin'' design. Despite this, the [[Federated Suns]] - who had purchased the largest total number of ''Javelin''s from Stormvanger Assemblies - succeeded in their plans to incorporate the design into practically all of their 'Mech regiments at the start of the [[First Succession War]], where its appearance took many enemy combatants off-guard. Though employed to varying degrees by the other [[Successor States]], the ''Javelin'' quickly became synonymous with the Federated Suns, often anchoring scout [[lance]]s, or, in certain units, teaming up with other ''Javelin''s to create mobile fire support lances. Following the creation of the [[Federated Commonwealth]], the design was upgraded with newly-recovered [[lostech]] during the latter part of the [[3040]]s, and at the behest of [[AFFC]] High Command, [[Jalastar Aerospace]] began production of new ''Javelin''s in [[3055]]. Since then, the sturdy and reliable scout 'Mech has continued to serve with distinction on the battlefield; though the original's level of armor protection has been deemed as insufficient by some, new variants continue to be introduced as technology progresses, ensuring its continued service into the [[thirty-second century]].<ref name=TRO3025/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050/><ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name = RGiCv31p12>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 31'' p. 12 "Javelin"</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Javelin'' carries a limited weapons array consisting of only two [[Arrowlite]] [[SRM-6]] launchers, one each in the left and right torso with one ton of ammunition per launcher. This makes the ''Javelin'' highly reliant on good supply lines and can hamper the 'Mech if it is forced into guerrilla combat, though with one ton of ammo per launcher it has sufficient endurance for most battles. As a close support 'Mech, it is highly adept at swooping in and helping deliver the final blow, especially as its scattering missiles can exploit and cripple exposed systems. However, its light armor makes the ''Javelin'' ill-suited for hand-to-hand brawling. Notably, the Arrowlites and their ammunition stores are placed so far forward in the 'Mech's torso that the ''Javelin'' has a front-heavy center of gravity, causing [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] unfamiliar with the design's forward-lean while running to be prone to falling over while moving at high speeds in difficult terrain.<ref name=TRO3025/><ref name=TRO3039/> With a reliable [[GM 180]] engine the ''Javelin'' benefits from a good cruising speed of 64 km/h while six [[Rawlings 95]] [[jump jet]]s - two in each leg and the remainder in the rear center torso - provided for good maneuverability and a total jumping distance of 180 meters. Four tons of armor allow it to survive most surprise encounters and retreat to safety, with a half-ton protecting the chest, side torsos and legs each. 10 [[single heat sink]]s mounted in the engine are sufficient cooling for the 'Mech.<ref name=TRO3025/><ref name=TRO3039/> ==Variants== *; JVN-10A : Introduced in [[2752]], the 10A is a long-range harasser.

The conventional armor was also swapped out for [[ferro-fibrous]] and an additional ton was added to increase the overall protection for the ''Javelin''. This design was a field refit often seen after other units had cast off their old parts.<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade (Inner Sphere)'', p. 24 & ''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 18</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,073<ref name=MUL113/><ref>In ''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade'', this variant was identified as the JVN-10N, the same designation as the base design.

Additional [[ferro-fibrous]] armor gives the 11B more than a 40% increase in protection, but the inclusion of [[CASE]] necessitated dropping the jump jets.

It carries three [[ER medium laser]]s and two [[medium pulse laser]]s, mated to an advanced [[targeting computer]] as well as a [[Wunderland]] [[C3 slave unit]]. The engine has been upgraded to an [[XL engine|extralight model]] and the structure has been replaced with an [[endo steel]] internal structure.

The 12N carries two Clantech [[SRM 6]] launchers and a head mounted [[TAG]]. For internals the 12N carries a [[240 Extralight Fusion Engine | 240 XL]] Engine, 8 jump jets enabling a 250m jump distance and 10 double heat sinks.

This version removes the [[C3 slave unit]] of the standard 11D and replaces it with a [[Clan]]-tech [[active probe]]. The weapons have been reworked as well, with this version mounting three [[ER medium laser]]s and two [[medium X-Pulse laser]]s, all tied into a [[targeting computer]].

[[Hero 'Mech]] features [[lostech]] not commonly available during the [[Third Succession War]]. Mounting a 180-rated [[XL engine]] and built on an [[endo steel]] chassis, MWO's ''Hi There!'' retains the 10N's classic torso [[SRM-6]]s and uses the extra weight savings to mount a pair of [[medium laser]]s in each arm. Aside from swapping the 10 [[single heat sink]]s for [[Double Heat Sink|double strength versions]], MWO's ''Hi There!'' features the same level of [[SRM]] reloads, armor coverage, and [[jump jet]] capacity as the 10N.<ref name=MWO>''MechWarrior Online'' "''Javelin'' Sale Page"</ref> {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} ==Design Quirks== The ''Javelin'' has the following [[Design Quirk]]:<ref name=BTMp92>''BattleTech Manual'', p. 92, "BattleMech Quirk Table - Javelin"</ref> * [[Unbalanced]] The JVN-11D ''Javelin'' Farrell has the following additional [[Design Quirk]]:<ref>''BattleTech Dossiers: The Bounty Hunter'', pp. 10, 21</ref> * [[Improved Communications]] ==Notable Pilots== :''See [[:Category:Notable Javelin Pilots]]'' ==Notes== * In German products, the unit's proper name translated to '''''Speerschleuder''''', which translates to ''Javelin Thrower''.
