Stealth (BattleMech)

The Stealth is a heavy scout 'Mech that is in use by the Federated Suns and the Lyran Alliance. The 'Mech has a GM 315 XL Engine that allows the Stealth to move at speeds of 118.8 kph and the MASC system on board can push the 'Mech to 151.2 kph in short bursts. This amazing mobility is augmented by jump jets which the Stealth can use to jump up to two hundred and ten meters. The Stealth is also outfitted with a Cyclops-Beagle Sensory Active Probe that the Stealth can use to find hidden enemy units.

Weapons and Equipment
The Stealth is armed with an eclectic short range weapons arsenal. The primary weapons in this arsenal are a pair of Diplan M3 Medium Lasers which are backed up by a Shannon SH-60 SRM-6 and a Federated SuperStreak Streak SRM-2 which both allow the 'Mech to find weak spots in an enemy 'Mech's armor.

Variants

 * STH-2D : The 2D removes the weapons from the Stealth and retains the Active Probe. The Stealth has been re armed with a Streak SRM-6 launcher and a trio of ER Medium Lasers, making the 'Mech devastatingly powerful at short to medium ranges. BV (1.0) = 1,265, BV (2.0) = 1,508


 * STH-2D1 : A modification of the 2D, the 2D1 variant removes an ER Medium Laser from the 2D model and replaces it with a C3 Slave unit, allowing it to share targeting data with friendly units. BV (1.0) = 1,186, BV (2.0) = 1,339


 * STH-2D2 : Another modification of the 2D model, the 2D2 removes an ER Medium Laser from the 2D model and replaces it with a TAG target designator, allowing it to spot for Arrow IV artillery bombardments. BV (1.0) = 1,186, BV (2.0) = 1,339


 * STH-3S : The 3S variant of the Stealth is built using reverse engineered Stealth Armor. The 'Mech is armed with a single ER PPC which has a very long range. The ER PPCs long range and the Stealth Armor combine to make the 3S an almost perfect sniper 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1219, BV (2.0) = 1,577


 * STH-5X : This version uses an experimental Composite Structure as its skeleton. An XL Engine and MASC allow this Stealth variant to reach speeds of 140km/h. In addition, several Clan spec systems have been installed on the chassis, including an Active Probe, ECM Suite, a Streak SRM-6, and a trio of ER Medium Lasers. Two arm mounted ER Flamers provide anti-infantry capabilities. Most interesting is the use of a Chameleon Light Polarization Shield to make this Stealth live up to its name. BV (2.0) = 2,222

Custom Variants

 * STH-1D Stealth Anna : A customized 1D model variant created for Captain Anna Ramirez during the FedCom Civil War. Ramirez collected several Medium Pulse Lasers and additional Medium Lasers and had techs fit them in place of her SRM 6 launcher. She also had a half ton of armor added to the thin hulled design. BV (1.0) = 1,240
