==Description==
The '''''Javelin''''' was first built in [[2751]] by [[Stormvanger Assemblies, Unlimited]] as a recon [['Mech]] meant to be exported to the member states of the [[Star League]]. A compromise between speed and firepower, the ''Javelin'' was fast enough to avoid engagements with heavier 'Mechs while still having sufficient firepower to dissuade pursuit. In particular, the 'Mech's maneuverability meant that while its main function was to perform reconnaissance, the ''Javelin'' became adept at conducting ambushes, gaining a reputation for appearing out of nowhere and giving rise to the phrase "sneaky as a ''Javelin''."<ref name=TRO3025/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050>''Technical Readout: 3050'', p. 66</ref><ref name=TRO3050U>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 18</ref>

The ''Javelin'' had yet to be integrated into most [[Star League|SLDF]] [[regiments]] when the [[Amaris Civil War]] struck and Stormvanger Assemblies' factory on [[Caph]] was destroyed in [[2774]], ending all production of the ''Javelin'' design. Despite this, the [[Federated Suns]] - who had purchased the largest total number of ''Javelin''s from Stormvanger Assemblies - succeeded in their plans to incorporate the design into practically all of their 'Mech regiments at the start of the [[First Succession War]], where its appearance took many enemy combatants off-guard. Though employed to varying degrees by the other [[Successor States]], the ''Javelin'' quickly became synonymous with the Federated Suns, often anchoring scout [[lance]]s, or, in certain units, teaming up with other ''Javelin''s to create mobile fire support lances. Following the creation of the [[Federated Commonwealth]], the design was upgraded with newly-recovered [[lostech]] during the latter part of the [[3040]]s, and at the behest of [[AFFC]] High Command, [[Jalastar Aerospace]] began production of new ''Javelin''s in [[3055]]. Since then, the sturdy and reliable scout 'Mech has continued to serve with distinction on the battlefield; though the original's level of armor protection has been deemed as insufficient by some, new variants continue to be introduced as technology progresses, ensuring its continued service into the [[thirty-second century]].<ref name=TRO3025/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050/><ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name = RGiCv31p12>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 31'' p. 12 "Javelin"</ref>
