Description
The Stiletto was engineered in a similar vein as the Black Hawk-KU or the Rakshasa, using examples of Fire Falcon OmniMechs salvaged from the battlefield immediately following the Battle of Coventry. The Stiletto has an identical speed profile as the Fire Falcon with a VOX 280 Light Engine giving it a top speed of 129.6 km/h. The Stiletto also has an almost identical visual profile to the 'Mech which it tries to emulate, and is built on 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. The Stiletto also has a Guardian ECM Suite which protects the 'Mech from advanced electronic warfare equipment.
Armament
The Stiletto is armed for both long and short range combat. For close combat, the Stiletto has two Coventry T4H Streak SRM-2 launchers. For long range combat, the Stiletto has a single 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 is completely dependent on ammunition based missile weapons.
Variants
- STO-4B - Designed in response to criticism over the 4A variant's ammunition dependence, the 4B removes all of the missile weapons and replaces them with a single ER Large Laser and two ER Medium Lasers. A Flamer rounds out the arsenal on the 4B, making the 'Mech highly effective against unarmored infantry. BV (1.0) = 936[1]
- STO-6X - Experimental model from Coventry Metal Works has BattleMech Turrets on side torsos, which contain 4 ER Medium Lasers. Supercharger and the Bloodhound Active Probe on center and right torsos complete the picture. BV(2.0)=1,192[2]
Notes
- The Stiletto was first deployed on Port Arthur and used by the First Davion Guards against Clan Smoke Jaguar.
- During the FedCom Civil War, Duke Frederick Bradford, noble ruler of Coventry, refused to deliver Stilettoes to any unit that supported Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion.
