==Description==
In [[2680]], the [[Star League]] requested designers to develop 'Mechs which could fly as well as function as standard 'Mechs. The first [[LAM|Land-Air 'Mech]] off the drawing board, the ''[[Shadow Hawk LAM]]'', proved so fatally flawed the concept was almost shelved altogether. However, [[LexaTech Industries]] reworked the conversion equipment and unveiled the first viable LAM based on the old ''[[Stinger]]'' design, the '''''Stinger LAM''''', in [[Introduction Year::2688]]. LexaTech's reworking of the concept proved so successful that the Land-Air 'Mech became highly sought after, especially for operations on [[w:Minor planet|minor planets]] such as asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets. In fact, the ''Stinger LAM'' first saw combat destroying a nuclear weapons facility in the [[w:Oort cloud|Oort Cloud]] orbiting Sol, [[Terra]]'s star.

Despite never being produced in large numbers, there were still many in service during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 126</ref> due in part to the LexaTech facility on the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Irece]] remaining intact. It was the last such facility in the [[Inner Sphere]], and was able to construct new ''Stinger LAM''s as well as new parts.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 290-292</ref> The loss of the factory to the forces of [[Clan Nova Cat]] in [[Production Ceased::3050]] during the [[Clan Invasion]] sounded the death knell for the Land-Air 'Mech as a viable combat unit, as the Nova Cats viewed Land-Air 'Mechs as an abomination and utterly razed the LexaTech factory to the ground.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p.114</ref>
