==Description==
 
==Description==
The STM-O '''''Sternensturm''''' light [[OmniFighter]] was originally produced for the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]'s Armed Forces. In the aftermath of the [[Jihad]], the [[LCAF]]'s aerospace assets were devastated. To help fill the need for more light fighters, Lockheed/CBM of [[Tharkad]] was commissioned to create a new design to help replenish its forces. While the fighter would be produced for Commonwealth's armed forces, it would also be sold to mercenary commands who maintained contracts with [[House Steiner]], including the [[Kell Hounds]].

Shortly after the ''Sternensturm'' was introduced, the light fighter would soon prove its value in 3099, when it was utilized against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces conducting an exploratory raid on [[Graus]].  Assigned to the [[2nd Donegal Guards]], the fighter made a big showing by providing ground support fire against [[3rd Falcon Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|3rd Falcon Talons]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 48 Sternensturm - Background and brief history</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament and Capacities==
The ''Sternensturm'' is capable of high speeds and is utilized as interceptor thanks to its [[Pitban 320]]-rated [[extralight fusion engine]]. The craft's airframe is capable of handling 10 tons worth of [[OmniPod]] weapons and equipment and is thickly armored for a light aerospace fighter, being protected with 11.5 tons of [[Donegal Omni-Sheath]] [[heavy ferro-aluminum]]. Like most aerospace craft, the fighter's armor is thickest in its nose, while its aft receives only a modest amount of armor.

Like most aerospace craft, the fighter's armor is thickest in its nose, while its aft receives an modest amount of armor.
  
The fighter's primary configuration consists of intermediate and short ranged weaponry. Three [[ER medium laser]]s are mounted in the craft's nose while each of its wings mounts a single [[SRM-4]] launcher, supplied by a single ton of ammunition.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Lyran Commonwealth'', pp. 48-49 Sternensturm - Stats</ref>
