Despite a somewhat enigmatic origin, the '''''Jenner'' IIC''' is a powerful and fast [[BattleMech#Light|light]] striker 'Mech. Serving with distinction during [[Operation REVIVAL]] among the forces of [[Clan Nova Cat]], unlike other similar [[IIC]] refreshes of staple [[Star League Defense Force]] 'Mechs, the ''Jenner IIC'' caused confusion as the original [[Draconis Combine]] ''[[Jenner]]'' was first fielded in September [[2784]], the same year the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus fleet]] left the [[Inner Sphere]] in November.<ref name=TRO3055p106>''Technical Readout: 3055'', pp. 106–107: "Jenner IIC"</ref> Spawning numerous theories among [[Inner Sphere]] observers as to its origins, including that the so-called [[Minnesota Tribe]] were in-fact a Nova Cat recon mission,<ref name=TR3055Up108f /> the truth was ''[[isorla]]'' ''Jenner''s returned during [[Wolf's Dragoons]]' second supply run inspired the vision driven Nova Cats to claim it as their own and enhance its abilities.<ref name=RGiVol18p4>''Recognition Guide: ilClan vol. 18'', pp. 4–5: "Jenner IIC"</ref>
+
The ''[[Jenner]]'' was first fielded in September [[2784]], the same year the Exodus fleet that would eventually become the [[Clans]] left the [[Inner Sphere]] in November. How exactly they acquired this design in that short timeframe is not known, but what is known is that the Clan version fields Clan weaponry, so it is known as the '''''Jenner'' IIC'''. This second-line [[BattleMech]] is still a fast light that is now capable of delivering plenty of short-range missiles. To achieve this, it uses an [[XL Engine]], [[Endo Steel]] structure, and mounts only three and a half tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor. It also carries enough [[jump jet]]s to leap up to 210 meters at a time. This results in an expensive garrison 'Mech, but one that is still in production nonetheless.

Though the original version is used by a number of Clans, the Nova Cats would field a number of ''Jenner IIC'' variants, as well as continue its development after [[Clan Nova Cat#Abjuration|their Abjurement]]. Considerable resources were spent to bring new production online of visually refreshed versions of the original and the newer 4 models at their Irece Alpha facility to help fill out their rebuilding ''[[touman]]''.<ref name=TR3055Up108f/> Ultimately the 'Mech would outlast the Clan who designed it, with the Combine allowing [[Clan Sea Fox]] to acquire the surviving Irece lines and openly sell the 'Mech to all parties, of which [[Clan Wolf]] was the largest buyer in the years leading up the [[ilClan era]].<ref name=RGiVol18p4/>
+
Unique among the IIC models, the Jenner IIC changes the leg mechanism found on the original design. While the original Jenner, despite otherwise sharing design characteristics common in Marauder-descended reverse articulated 'Mechs, had standard forward articulated legs, the IIC model has reverse articulated legs similar to those on the Stormcrow.{{cn}}

Taking the original ''Jenner'' concept to the extreme, this fast striker mounts a center torso [[Pattern C4]] [[Streak SRM-4]] and a [[Pattern J7]] [[SRM-6]] launcher in each arm, carrying one ton of reloads for each missile rack. Though vulnerable to opponents who mount an [[anti-missile system]] and leaving it heavily dependent upon supply lines, the hail of missiles the ''Jenner IIC'' can unleash makes it ideal to clear out scouts and other light threats, such as [[combat vehicle]]s early in a battle. To achieve this, the ''Jenner IIC'' uses a 315-rated [[XL engine]], [[endo steel]] structure, and mounts only three and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. It also carries enough [[jump jet]]s to leap up to 210 meters at a time.<ref name=TRO3055p106/><ref name=TR3055Up108f/><ref name=RGiVol18p4/>

This fast striker carries a [[Streak SRM-4]] and two [[SRM-6]] launchers. This hail of missiles can quickly overcome a light 'Mech, though it does leave the ''Jenner'' IIC vulnerable to opponents who mount an [[Anti-Missile System]].

*; ''Jenner IIC'' 4 : Developed by Clan Nova Cat as much to modernize both its visual appearance and abilities as well as show they retained some strength in the wake of their Abjurement, the 4 model retains the [[Streak SRM-4]], but replaced the standard SRM launchers with a pair of [[CC 3-rack]] [[ATM-3]]s, each of which is accompanied by a ton of ammunition.<ref name=TR3055Up108f/> BV (1.0) = 1,030; BV (2.0) = 1,052<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 181</ref>

*;''Jenner'' IIC 4 : [[Clan Nova Cat]], the primary users of the ''Jenner'' IIC, created this variant after they moved to the [[Inner Sphere]]. Though it changes the appearance of the 'Mech, the actual specifications of the design changed little.

*; ''Jenner IIC'' 5 : Debuted right before the Nova Cat Annihilation and only seeing production by Clan Sea Fox, this variant uses a standard ''Jenner IIC'' chassis, armor, and movement profile. The weaponry has been replaced so it's more like the weapons of a standard ''[[Jenner]]''; each arm carries a pair of [[improved heavy medium laser]]s protected by [[CASE]], the center torso carries an [[SRM-6]] fed from the right torso with one ton of SRM ammo. To enhance its scouting ability, a [[light active probe]] is mounted in the left torso. BV (2.0) = 1,440<ref name=RGiVol18p4/><ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 18'', p. 18</ref>
