	==Description==		==Description==
−	One of the most popular [[Star League]] [[BattleMech]]s, many a ''[[Highlander]]'' accompanied [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] into exile. Some were mothballed, but many found their way into the ''[[touman]]s'' of the [[Clan]]s. As technology advanced, the weapons systems were upgraded until the design known as the '''''Highlander IIC''''' finally emerged. Though no new ''Highlanders'' have been produced in over a century, several hundred are still in scattered use throughout the ''touman'' of every Clan.<ref name=TRO3060>''Technical Readout: 3060'', pp. 184-185, "Highlander IIC"</ref>	+	One of the most popular [[Star League]] [[BattleMech]]s, many a ''[[Highlander]]'' accompanied General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] into exile.

−	With the use of newer, lighter weapons, the damage potential of the ''Highlander'' has roughly doubled. The ''IIC'' also contains enough ammunition that it rarely needs to conserve any during Trials. Clan scientists were forced to rearrange the placement of some weapons within the 'Mech to allow it proper ammo feeds, but the design is largely unchanged. It carries the maximum amount of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor that can be crammed on the frame, fourteen and a half tons. As with the original, the ''IIC'' carries enough [[jump jet]]s to move up to ninety meters at a time, allowing [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] to execute the "[[Death from Above|Highlander Burial]]".<ref name=TRO3060/>	+	With the use of newer, lighter weapons, the damage potential of the ''Highlander'' has roughly doubled.

−	At long range, ''Highlander IIC'' pilots have an [[EMRG "Captain" Series]] [[Gauss rifle]] and a [[Type XXVI "Great Bow"]] [[LRM-20]] launcher at their disposal. Once enemies are closer, they can bring a pair of [[MPA-14 Mod. 12a]] [[Streak SRM-6]] launchers and a trio of [[Series PPS-VIII]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s into the fray. Twelve [[double heat sink]]s keep heat mostly in check.<ref name=TRO3060/>	+	At long range, ''Highlander IIC'' pilots have an EMRG "Captain" Series [[Gauss Rifle]] and a Type XXVI "Great Bow" [[LRM-20]] launcher at their disposal.

−	*; HGN-IIC-A : The ''Highlander IIC'' A is an [[ER PPC]] boat. Swapping the Gauss Rifle for ER PPC, the left-torso pulse lasers are also replaced by twin ER PPCs. These swaps are made possible by the removal of one of the left arm Streak 6 launchers and the Artemis unit from the right torso LRM-20, carrying three tons of missiles for each launcher. The ''Highlander IIC'' A downgrades the ferro-fibrous armor to [[Standard armor|standard plating]] to free up space for an [[Endo Steel]] frame instead and carries a total of twenty Double Heat Sinks.<ref name=MWO-1>''MechWarrior Online'' Origin Sale Page</ref>
−
−	*; HGN-IIC-B : Like the original ''Highlander IIC'', the B retains the Gauss Rifle and twin Streak SRM-6 racks, but replaces the single LRM-20 with twin [[LRM-15]] racks in the right torso, removing one of the Medium Pulse Lasers to help free up the weight needed. Trading ferro-fibrous armor to standard to free up space for an [[Endo Steel]] frame like the A, the ''Highlander IIC'' B is fitted with fourteen double heat sinks and carries three tons of gauss rounds, two of streak reloads and four of LRM missiles.<ref name=MWO-1/>
−
−	*; HGN-IIC-C : The ''Highlander IIC'' C trades the standard variant's Gauss Rifle for a pair of [[Ultra Autocannon/10]]s, retaining the trio of Medium Pulse Lasers while removing the LRM-20's Artemis module and one of the left-arm Streak SRM-6 launchers. The ''Highlander IIC'' A carries two tons Ultra autocannon rounds, four tons of LRM missiles and a single ton of Streak reloads. Such a heavy loadout is made possible thanks to the use of 270-rated [[XL engine]], the A clad in the maximum amount of ferro-fibrous armor and fitted with fourteen double heat sinks.<ref name=MWO-1/>
−
−	*; HGN-IIC-KP ''Keeper'' : Reportedly piloted by [[Star Colonel]] [[Hazel]] of [[Clan Star Adder]], the ''Highlander IIC'' [[Hero 'Mech]] is armed with a Gauss Rifle in the right arm and left torso, supported at short-range by a pair of [[Streak SRM-4]] launchers in left arm and right torso. In case the four tons of Gauss rounds and five tons of Streak reloads run out, the left-arm also carries an [[ER Large Laser]]. ''Keeper'' is built around an 270 rated XL engine and an Endo Steel frame, fitted with three jump jets and twelve double heat sinks and clad in fourteen and a half tons of standard armor.<ref name=MWO-2>''MechWarrior Online'' Clan IIC Heroes Sale Page</ref>
