−	The '''''Stiletto''''' was engineered in a similar vein as the ''[[Black Hawk-KU]]'' or the ''[[Rakshasa]]'', using examples of ''[[Fire Falcon]]'' [[OmniMech]]s salvaged from the battlefield immediately following the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|Battle of Coventry]]. Not only does the ''Stiletto'' have an identical speed profile as the ''Fire Falcon'', thanks to a [[VOX 280]] [[light engine]] giving it a top speed of 129.6 km/h, but it also has an almost identical visual profile to the 'Mech which it tries to emulate. Supporting this is a lightweight [[MatherTech 750]] [[endo steel]] chassis that supports six tons of [[Lexington Ltd. High Grade]] [[ferro-fibrous]] with [[CASE]] to protect against an ammunition explosion.<ref name="TRO:3067p56">''Technical Readout: 3067'', pp. 56–57: "STO-4A Stiletto"</ref>	+	The '''''Stiletto''''' was engineered in a similar vein as the ''[[Black Hawk-KU]]'' or the ''[[Rakshasa]]'', using examples of ''[[Fire Falcon]]'' [[OmniMech]]s salvaged from the battlefield immediately following the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|Battle of Coventry]].

For close combat, the ''Stiletto'' has two [[Coventry T4H]] [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers while long range combat is handled by a single [[LRM-5#Coventry_Five-Tube|Coventry Five-Tube]] [[LRM-5]] launcher that makes the ''Stiletto'' capable of both direct and indirect missile support. The weapons payload of the ''Stiletto'' has received some criticism, as the 'Mech carries only one ton of LRM and Streak ammunition, rendering it defenseless once these are depleted.
