Line 24: ==Description== ==Description== − The '''''Stinger IIC''''' is a design that serves several purposes. When it was introduced, the [[Outworlds Alliance]] and [[Clan Snow Raven]] hadn't yet officially merged into the [[Raven Alliance]], and the two polities had lost a great deal of their reconnaissance capability due to ongoing struggles with the [[Draconis Combine]]. The ''Stinger IIC'' was introduced to address both issues: it serves as a symbol of the Alliance and Ravens joining forces, and it also serves to increase the reconnaissance capability of the new realm's military. The older ''Stingers'' produced by [[Alliance Defenders Limited]] were upgraded with Clan-spec equipment, allowing Clan warriors to use it without shame, and the Outworlds pilots gained a new [[BattleMech]].<ref name=trop140/> + The '''''Stinger IIC''''' serves several purposes.

The upgraded armor protection is valued by those warriors used to the older ''[[Stinger]]'' as well, but this armor is still too light to allow the 'Mech to operate in a stand-up fight.
