[edit] Description & Brief History
Created as a arena and later battlefield salvage 'Mech by the VEST of Solaris VII. The design started life originally built from converted Kintaro BattleMechs, lated started offered for sale in 3066.[1] The VEST only finished one production run prior to the Word of Blake sacking Solaris VII in 3068. First production units went to various mercenary groups, Great Houses, and even Periphery nations of Rim Collection. VEST had sold one Hyena at reduced price to a specialized salvage team, Skibinski's Salvage. This was to showcase their SalvageMech's ablities to various prospecting customers through the unit's travels.
In 3072 dealt blow to the Hyena's sales with VEST's production facilities in city of Xolara. Sales of other SalvageMechs such as Jabberwocky begun lure potential buys away.[2]
