Description
Based on the original Star League era BattleMech, the Stalker II is a complete top to bottom redesign taking advantage new technological advanced that had been achieved since gained since last era of open war had ended. Its conception propelled by the events of Gray Monday in 3132, Irian engineers on Shiro III reviewed records of the classic Stalker over its service life and focus their efforts to take the best of those qualities for their redesign efforts.
These efforts resulted in the Stalker II, giving troops an incredible durable Assault Mech, able within stand incredible amounts of punishment. First deployed by the armed forces of Duchy of Andurien in 3137, the Stalker II was deployed among all of its regimental units. 'Mech saw action first during the Duchy of Oriente's invasion of the Duchy. Shortly after the conflict, the Irian began selling Stalker II to Andurien allies as means drum up needed cash for the Duchy. Sales of the design would see the 'Mech deployed various combat units within Capellan Confederation and defunct Marik-Stewart Commonwealth.
The Stalker II would soon make a name for itself during the Commonwealth's last days fighting against the Lyran & Clan Wolf forces. In the fighting of Rexburg, two Stalker IIs from the Thirteenth Atrean Dragoons would engage Clan Trial buy time for the rest of their company to withdraw from the battlefield. Each Stalker II would engage with a single Nova of Light 'Mechs & Combat Vehicles. The Trial by Combat would end when both machines hold their owns until one fell near the end and other defeating its opponents all the while its piloting dying from neurohelment feedbacks.[2]
Armament and Capacities
Designed to take great deal of punishment, the Stalker II's armor protection consists of 27 tons of Riese-675 Hardened Armor with additional of CASE II. The Stalker II is powered by a Strand rated-255 Fusion Engine, very same model used to power its ancient brethren over the centuries. The old power plant would prove to be unable overcome the weight of new heavy armor and cause the 'Mech maximum speed to be slowed down to only 43 kph. Adding to these protected aspects of the design, the cockpit has been moved to the torso, while a Compact Gyro is installed to make room for it.
One of the aspects that contributed to the original Stalker's success was variants which had been using Star League era fire control systems. In order to recapture this particular aspect of the old design, the Stalker II was fitted with a modern Targeting Computer which ties into its eight Magna Mk. II Medium Lasers. For its long-range firepower, the 'Mech relies on two Irian Weapon Works 10-Tubed Extended-Range LRM Launchers with four tons of ammunition tied into them.[3]
