==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Stag''''' was [[Clan Wolverine]]'s redesign based on the ''[[Vulcan (BattleMech)|Vulcan]]'' [[BattleMech]]. [[Khan]] [[Sarah McEvedy]]'s orders led to the ''Stag'', which transformed the venerable infantry-killer into a cavalry 'Mech that could also scout. As this design was pressed into service shortly after the conclusion of [[Operation KLONDIKE]], it used [[Star League]] technology.<ref name=JS149 />

As this design was pressed into service shortly after the [[Operation Klondike]], it used [[Star League]] technology.<ref name=JS149 />
  
The Mech also saw significant action in Clan Wolverine's [[Clan_Wolverine#The_Point_of_No_Return|war against the other Clans]] in [[Introduction Year::2823]]. The Mech, along with other new designs that were crafted by the Wolverines, would be salvaged as ''[[isorla]]'' after the [[Trial of Annihilation]] was concluded and likely dismantled after study.<ref>''Betrayal of Ideals'',p125 - Point Commander Cale piloted a prototype Stag II straight from the factory yet still painted.</ref>
+
The ''Stag'' was built on an [[Endo Steel]] frame and powered by an [[XL Engine]]. Ten tons of armor provided the 'Mech with the maximum possible protection. The ''Stag'' retained the ''Vulcan's'' top speed of 97 km/h, though it contained [[MASC]] that allowed the design to push up to 130 km/h in bursts. It was a bit less mobile, however, as it did not keep the [[jump jet]]s.<ref name=JS149 />

The long-range threat from the cavalry 'Mech comes from one [[ER Large Laser]]. At close range it is supplemented by paired [[Medium Laser]]s and [[SRM-4]]s. Two, [[CASE]]-protected tons of ammunition gives [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] the flexibility to use different types of munitions, making the ''Stag'' a threat to a variety of units. Twelve [[double heat sink]]s handles all of the heat generated by the weapons.<ref name=JS149 />

*;ST-24G ''Stag II'': The so-called ''Stag II'' incorporated a prototype version of the [[ER PPC]] that was roughly comparable to the [[Clan]] version of the weapon, though it was slightly less destructive. This upgrade of the large laser necessitated removal of the MASC, though the top speed was upgraded to 119 km/h. Additionally, [[ferro-fibrous]] weave was incorporated into the armor, though at an overall decrease in protection. The SRMs were removed in favor of a third medium laser, two [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s, and two [[Small Laser]]s.<ref name=JS149 /> This gave the 'Mech greater battlefield longevity, though the potential for excessive heat buildup was much greater.

The ''Stag'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 94 BattleMech Quirk Table - Stag Entry.</ref>
 
* [[Improved Communications]]
 
* [[Improved Sensors]]

* ''[[Vulcan (BattleMech)|Vulcan]]'' - The ''Vulcan'' was used as the base design for the ''Stag''. However, the ''Stag'' deviates considerably from the design philosophy and character, and presumably for this reason it was considered a new design instead of a [[IIC]]-style redesign.
