−	The '''''Striker''''' was originally commissioned by the [[Star League Defense Force]] high command in [[Introduction Year::2571]] for non-Royal SLDF units (those units originally donated by [[Great House]]s to the SLDF).  Along with the ''[[Stalker]]'',<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 116: "the ''Stalker'' is the most famous and most common heavy assault BattleMech"</ref> the ''Striker'' became one of the most common [['Mech]]s in service.  The ''Striker'' was built with the intent of being both rugged and reliable, but more importantly, it's production allowed House Lords to reserve their precious and limited numbers of assault BattleMechs for their own personal armies.  In this way, the ''Striker'' may have been the show of good faith the House Lords needed to make the [[Star League]] work.	+	The '''''Striker''''' was originally designed by the [[SLDF]] high command in [[Introduction Year::2571]] for non-Royal SLDF units (those units originally donated by [[Great House]]s to the SLDF).  Along with the ''[[Stalker]]''<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 116, "the ''Stalker'' is the most famous and most common heavy assault [[BattleMech]]."</ref>, the ''Striker'' became one of the most common [['Mech]]s in service.  The ''Striker'' was built with the intent of being rugged and reliable, but more importantly, allowed House Lords to reserve their precious and limited numbers of assault BattleMechs for their own personal armies.  In this way, the ''Striker'' may have been the show of good faith the House Lords needed to make the [[Star League]] work.

	==Weapons and Equipment==		==Weapons and Equipment==
−	The ''Striker'' is built using rugged, off-the-shelf technologies that allow it to stand up to a great deal of punishment and enable easy repair. The ''Striker'' has a top speed of 64.8 km/h, provided by Pitban's 320-rated [[Fusion engine]]. For protection, the ''Striker'' carries thirteen and a half tons of armor, solidly average for a 'Mech of the ''Striker'''s size. The ''Striker'' dissipates the heat from its arsenal with fifteen standard [[heat sink]]s.	+	The ''Striker'' is built using rugged, off-the-shelf technologies that allow it to stand up to a great deal of punishment and enable easy repair. The ''Striker'' has a top speed of 64.8 km/h that is provided by a Pitban 320 [[Fusion engine]]. For protection, the ''Striker'' carries thirteen and a half tons of armor which is an average amount of protection for a 'Mech of the ''Striker'''s size. Finally, to dissipate the heat from its arsenal, the ''Striker'' has fifteen [[heat sink]]s.
−	The ''Striker'' has an arsenal that is capable of engaging an enemy at a variety of ranges. At maximum range, the Striker brings its [[Particle_Projector_Cannon#Hellstar|HellStar]] [[PPC]] and a [[Pontiac Light|Class-5 Pontiac]] [[Autocannon/5|Autocannon]] to bear. As the enemy closes, it can also make use of its [[Defiance B3L]] [[Large Laser]], though the unit's pilot will need to monitor their heat generation carefully. Finally, for close range defense, the ''Striker'' has three [[Medium_laser#Hellion_B-II|Hellion-b II]] [[medium laser]]s.	+	The ''Striker'' has an arsenal that is capable of engaging an enemy at a variety of ranges. The primary long-range weapons on the ''Striker'' are a HellStar [[PPC]] and a Pontiac Light [[Autocannon/5]]. These are backed up by a Defiance B3L [[Large Laser]] that is capable of engaging enemies at medium to short ranges. Finally, for close range defense, the ''Striker'' has three Hellion-b II [[Medium Laser]]s.

−	*; STC-2D : The 2D variant of the ''Striker'' is a very basic upgrade of the design used by the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces. The PPC has been upgraded to an [[ER PPC]], the three medium lasers have been replaced with a pair of [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s, and the 'Mech has had three [[heat sink]]s removed. The remaining heat sinks have been upgraded to [[double heat sink]]s. The remaining available space has been used to add two tons of armor to the 'Mech.

−	*;STC-2S : In order to make the ''Striker'' more heat-efficient, the [[House Steiner]] variant removed the Large Laser and autocannon to incorporate an [[Autocannon/10]] with a two-ton magazine.
