Clan Hell's Horses initially fielded the fearsome Cygnus in 3075 as a part of their ongoing effort to revitalize their armed forces after their massive assault on Clan Wolf's Inner Sphere holdings. The new design called for simplicity, survivability, and above all, quick lethality. In the wake of the Jihad and the Horses' assault on the Clan Wolf, the Horses' and the exiled Clan Wolf forces operating on the Lyran front formed an uneasy alliance. Part of this alliance included the trade of equipment, including the new Cygnus.
