==Description==
 
==Description==
Designed in the [[Draconis Combine]] in response to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]'s ''[[Commando]]'', but typically used in a light scout role instead, the [[Ultralight BattleMech|ultralight]] '''''Stiletto''''' entered production in [[Introduction Year::2473]] and has been in continuous small-scale production since. As of [[3025]], several dozen are produced annually at [[Alshain]] and [[Al Na'ir]] each.

==Armament==
Effectively a lighter ''Commando'', the ''Stiletto'' mimics its weapons loadout on a smaller scale, sporting a [[Telos Four-Shot]] [[SRM-4]] in the center torso and a [[Magna Mk I|Magna Mk I Light]] [[small laser]] in the head; one ton of ammo suffices for the SRM.

The ''Stiletto'' was only ever described in ''[[StarDrive]]''. Since this magazine is not currently counted among the [[canon|canonical]] sources for BattleTech, the 'Mech itself is not currently considered canonical either.

==Notes==
 
==Notes==
* The maximum ground speed given for this 'Mech is slightly lower than normal for its mass and engine rating (90.4 instead of 97.2 km/h), but this has no impact on its game stats. Fluff-wise, it is noted that it is slightly slower than the ''Commando'' which has the same movement rating for its boardgame stats.

*Although no proper [[Design Quirks]] are given for the design (Quirk rules having been published more than twenty years later), the ''Stiletto'' is noted for its cramped cockpit, its low maintenance requirements, and a cramped internal strucure that increases the required time to repair most internal components by 25%.

*According to the [[BattleCorps]] story ''[[Feather vs. Mountain]]'', 'Mechs below 20 tons are not considered proper BattleMechs in the Draconis Combine.
