==Description==
 
==Description==
Designed for fast recon and close-quarters combat, the '''''Night Stalker''''' is a medium [[BattleMech]] first produced during the mid-[[thirty-second century]]. The first original BattleMech produced by [[Victory Conditions Industries]] on [[Mizar]], the ''Night Stalker'' was first unveiled in the arenas of [[Solaris VII]], where it would gather a reputation that propelled the company’s sales to success. The design would soon see service with the [[Federated Suns]], the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], mercenary units, and among all the nation states of the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 32 Night Stalker - Background</ref>

From INN 3135: "In addition, it looks like this [[’Mech]]’s torso-mounted cockpit design also features a [[Beagle Active Probe]] and a blade fitted directly into its left hand, which is likely intended to be used in urban combat. As more details become available, we’ll be sure to report them to you."
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
One of the most notable attributes of the ''Night Stalker'' is its speed. Powered by its [[Pitban 320 XL]] [[extralight engine]], the 40 ton design can quickly close distance between it and its objective. In its role as a recon and pursuit 'Mech, the ''Night Stalker'' is fitted with a [[Beagle active probe]] to find hidden units. Other design features include a [[torso-mounted cockpit]] and [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] - the latter of which can be used to call in artillery support. Protecting the 'Mech's hull are six and a half tons of [[Paulina]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.
 
  
The ''Night Stalker''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s arsenal is meant for intermediate and close-in fighting, with a pair of right arm-mounted [[Aggressor]] [[ER medium laser]]s and an [[SRM-6]] in the left torso. Upon entering close range, the 'Mech can bring its [[ER small laser]] and [[small pulse laser]] to bear on a potential target. In combination with the ''Night Stalker''<nowiki>'</nowiki> speed, a MechWarrior can use its unusually-shaped left arm-mounted [[Lance (weapon)|lance]] to pierce an enemy's armor.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 33 & 106 Night Stalker - Capacities and Weapons.</ref>

*3x [[ER Medium Laser]]

; NSR-K1: Slightly differing from the base model, the K1 variant drops the base K3's [[ER small laser]] and [[small pulse laser]] for an additional [[ER medium laser]], and upgrades the [[SRM-6]] to a [[Streak SRM-6]].

; NSR-K4: Similar to the K1, this variant drops base model's [[ER small laser]] and [[small pulse laser]] for two additional [[ER medium laser]]s, and swaps the [[SRM-6]] launcher for an [[SRM-4]] with [[CASE]] protecting the one ton ammunition bin.

; NSR-K7: Designed as a close-range fighter, this variant became popular in the arenas of Solaris VII prior to that world falling into [[Clan Wolf]] control. While retaining the [[Lance (weapon)|lance]] and [[ER small laser]] of the K3 model, the K7 gains three [[small re-engineered laser]]s and a [[chain whip]] in place of the remaining original armament.

==Notes==
 
*The ''Night Stalker'' was originally conceived by [[WizKids]] for its [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its Annihilation expansion set. The figure would be used as both a general and unique 'Mech in the CGC game. The ''Night Stalker'' would later be adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].
