−	The '''''Icarus II''''' was the first homegrown [[BattleMech]] design to be mass produced by the [[Free Worlds League]], though it was actually the third League 'Mech, after the prototype ''Icarus'' and the ''[[Hector (BattleMech)|Hector]]''. In [[2518]], once [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno|Corean Enterprises]] was comfortable with the technology, they went back to the ''Icarus'' and upgraded it with [[jump jet]]s, and felt that it was a substantial enough change that it required adding "II" to the moniker.
