================================================================================================
Overview:
    When Federated Commonwealth officials requested plans for a new scout 'Mech that could
    sustain more damage than existing designs, General Motors of Kathil responded with the
    Stealth.
    
    The Stealth is a 45-ton 'Mech that is the latest entry into the long list of
    BattleMechs produced by GM over the years for the Lyran Commonwealth and the Federated Suns.
    The Stealth is likely to be the heaviest 'Mech that will be used by the F-C forces in a
    scouting role.
    
    With its advanced scouting capabilities and enhanced survivability, the Stealth may
    well play a pivotal role in the reconquest of Federated Commonwealth planets from the Clan
    invaders.

Capabilities:
    The Stealth is a dynamic 'Mech for the medium-size designation. It cruises at 76 kph and
    could attain 119 kph before engaging MASC. When MASC is engaged, the 45-ton 'Mech can move
    at 152 kph.
    
    The Stealth has an SRM-6 in its left torso and a Streak SRM-2 in its right torso. Both
    missile racks are supplied with one ton of ammunition each. There are also two standard
    medium lasers for fire support as well as a Beagle Probe. The planners at GM were excited
    about being able to produce a 'Mech that had both MASC and a Beagle Probe and simulator
    tests have been very promising.
    
    The Stealth utilizes endo steel in its framework and is also jump-capable. It can
    travel up to 210 meters per jump. The Stealth is also equipped with double heat sinks and
    substantial armor. The design also utilizes a GM 315 XL that is produced at the same
    facilities on Kathil.
    
    The Stealth has undergone extensive testing. Tests have ranged from standard endurance
    tests to stress tests on various features. The most unusual test conducted was the height
    test. A Stealth chassis covered in the appropriate amount of armor was deliberately dropped
    from a height of 100 meters. The engineers were hoping to determine if the structural
    integrity of the 'Mech was sound, based upon the height dropped, weight, and the 'Mech's
    jump capability. The design team claims that the test was a success.
    
    Some of the design's critics complain that the 'Mech lacks firepower, while others
    consider using so heavy a BattleMech exclusively for reconnaissance missions an
    irresponsible mistake. Only time will tell but the Federated Commonwealth is banking on the
    Stealth.

Deployment:
    The Stealth has only recently come out of production on Kathil. Those that have been placed
    into direct service have been scattered throughout the Federated Commonwealth military to
    replace destroyed scouting units. Initially, these 'Mechs have been assigned to scout lance
    commanders.
    
    Rumors abound in military circles that the Federated Commonwealth military is forming
    an elite commando team of some kind. This may be pure fantasy, but the rumors center around
    the use of the Stealth as a key unit. So far production records for the GM facility on
    Kathil do not support these speculations.
