==Description==
Needing to build up its forces after establishing the [[Wolf Empire]] and wanting a more generalist unit than the ''[[Skinwalker]]'', Clan Wolf's [[Ramiel Bekker]] created the '''''Stormwolf''''' in collaboration with [[Fox Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Clan Sea Fox]] by modifying the ''[[Wendigo]]'' to the Clan's exacting specifications. The 'Mech was designed with the intention of striking a balance between firepower and speed,<ref name=ilclnp142>''IlClan (sourcebook)'', p. 142</ref> and chief among Bekker's modifications was the addition of fixed mobility-enhancing equipment in order to shape the 'Mech's role in combat, as well as relocating the 'Mech's cockpit to the head. This relocation's associated visual changes gave the 'Mech a more canid or ursid appearance, bringing it more in line with the earlier ''[[Wulfen]]'' and ''[[Warwolf]]'' aesthetically.<ref name=rg16p10>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 16'', p. 10</ref>

The ''Stormwolf's'' exceptional mobility allows it to pick and choose its fights, while keeping it out of reach of those who would take advantage of its [[Reflective Armor|reflective armor]] in physical combat. The Mech's pod space is, however, somewhat limited when compared to its competitors.<ref name=rg16p10/>

First deployed against [[Clan Jade Falcon]], the ''Stormwolf'' quickly proved its worth in combat, setting it up for a future as Clan Wolf's new workhorse.<ref name=rg16p10/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Stormwolf'' is highly mobile for a mech of its size - its fixed combination of [[MASC]] and a [[Supercharger]] permits its 300 [[XL fusion engine]] to propel the 'Mech to 162 km/h, a speed near-unmatched among its contemporaries. This maneuverability is enhanced by its six [[jump jets]], which allow the 'Mech to jump up to 180 meters. To achieve these feats, the 'Mech makes use of a lightweight [[Endo-Steel]] chassis but is limited to only 15 tons of pod space for weapons and equipment.<ref name=rg16p11/>

Protecting the ''Stormwolf'' is ten tons of [[Reflective Armor|reflective armor]], making it exceptionally resilient against energy-based weaponry compared to most mechs of its size. Additionally, the 'Mech carries a fixed Beamsplitter [[Laser Anti-Missile System]] to guard it against enemy missiles.<ref name=rg16p11/>

The 'Mech's primary configuration allows it to be effective at both medium and long ranges. Its primary armament is a [[rotary AC/5]] with three tons of ammo protected by [[CASE II]], while for shorter ranges it carries a single [[ER medium laser]].  A [[light TAG]] is carried for target designation. Ten [[double heat sinks]] are sufficient to keep the 'Mech cool, under most circumstances.<ref name=rg16p11/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : Intended as a scout, this Mixed Tech configuration carries an Inner Sphere [[plasma rifle]] with two tons of ammo in the right torso, and a Clan [[Large Pulse Laser|large pulse laser]] in the opposite torso. In addition, the left torso mounts a Clan [[Active Probe]] for rooting out hidden targets. BV (2.0) = 2,655<ref name=rg16p11/>

*; Alternate Configuration B : This long-range configuration carries a powerful [[ER PPC]] in the right torso as its primary armament, along with a [[Plasma Cannon|plasma cannon]] with one ton of ammo in the left torso and an [[ER medium laser]] in each arm. The addition of three extra [[double heat sinks]] allows the ER PPC and plasma cannon to operate in tandem. BV (2.0) = 3,286<ref name=rg16p11/>
 
  
*; Alternate Configuration C : Packing advanced electronics, this configuration mounts a [[Watchdog Combined Electronic Warfare System]] in the left torso along with a [[targeting computer]] in the right, giving the 'Mech a technological edge on the battlefield. Linked to the targeting computer is an [[ER Large Laser|ER large laser]] in the right torso and a trio of [[ER Medium Laser|ER medium lasers]] spread across the right arm and both side torsos. In addition, the 'Mech carries a [[flamer]] in the right arm, along with four extra [[double heat sinks]] that are just about sufficient to handle the load from its weapons. BV (2.0) = 3,261<ref name=rg16p11/>

*; Alternate Configuration D : This medium-range configuration carries a flexible [[ATM 9]] in its right torso, with its two tons of ammo protected by [[CASE II]], along with five [[ER Medium Laser|ER medium lasers]], one in each arm and three in the left torso. The [[light TAG]] from the Prime configuration is preserved. However, the pilot must carefully manage their heat, as even the addition of two extra [[double heat sinks]] is insufficient to keep the 'Mech cool. BV (2.0) = 3,122<ref name=rg16p11/>
