−	The '''''Prefect''''' was an ammo-independent [[Republic of the Sphere]] [[BattleMech]], designed specifically for guerrilla combat. With increasing legal tensions between the newborn Republic and military manufacturers who suffered heavy damage at the hands of [[Stone's Coalition]] during [[Operation SCOUR]], [[Exarch]] [[Devlin Stone]] commissioned a new BattleMech intended to create jobs, bolster [[Republic Armed Forces|his military]], and to stave off the worst of the lawsuits. While ultimately unsuccessful on the last count, the well-regarded ''Prefect'' would enter service with the public RAF as well as black ops units.<ref name="TRO:3085p100+"/>	+	The '''''Prefect''''' was an ammo-independent [[Republic of the Sphere]] [[BattleMech]], designed specifically for guerrilla combat.
