When General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] led most of the [[Star League Defense Force]] into exile in [[2784]], they brought prototypes of the ''[[Clint]]'' [[BattleMech]] with them. After the annihilation of [[Clan Wolverine]], [[Clan Snow Raven]] revisited these prototypes and was able to begin mass-production of the 'Mech in [[2830]]. They ensured that it kept up with advances in [[Clan]] technology, eventually becoming the design that is now known as the '''''Clint IIC'''''. Production ceased in [[2917]], and in the late 30th century, the Ravens decided to decommission many less-effective designs of all sorts. It seemed fortuitous, then, when [[Clan Blood Spirit]] offered to trade some of their [[WarShip]]s to the Ravens in exchange for ground units. The Ravens were only too happy to get rid of vehicles that were going to be stockpiled anyways, so many ''Clint IIC''s found their way into Clan Blood Spirit, but most of them were subsequently destroyed during the Spirits' conflict with the [[Clan Star Adder|Adders]] and [[Clan Burrock|Burrocks]]. The waning fortunes of the ''Clint IIC'' were reversed in [[3052]], when the Ravens restarted production of the 'Mech to trade to the invading [[Clan]]s for resources from the [[Inner Sphere]].

This speedy medium 'Mech is armed with a Type KOV [[LB 10-X AC|LB-10X Autocannon]] and a pair of Series 2d [[ER Medium Laser]]s. This makes the ''Clint IIC'' an effective light [['Mech]] killer.
