Overview:
    A popular and common design, the Stalker is undergoing redesign to keep it apace
    the Star League technology being used on other 'Mechs.  The most promising version
    appears to be the model nearing production in the Free Worlds League.
    
    Irian BattleMechs Unlimited has almost finished retooling its plant on Shiro
    III to produce the STK-5M. The most important change is the attempt to address the
    Stalker's heat problems by using double heat sinks.  Though the final model
    carries three less heat sinks, it can dissipate much more heat than the original
    design.  This model also carries the advanced Octagon Missile-Magnet Narc Beacon,
    greatly improving the accuracy of its missiles and those of its lancemates.  The
    STK-5M also has a single Diverse Optics Sunbeam Extended-Range Large Laser instead
    of the pair of Magna models, adding a ton of armor for greater protection.
    
    The STK-5S version planned by the Federated Commonwealth is further from
    fruition and could be problematic besides.  Scheduled for the Trellshire Heavy
    Industries factory on Twycross, this version adds advanced weapons but does
    nothing to dissipate the additional heat they will generate.  Mounting an Edasich
    Motors 255 XL engine but keeping the original heat sinks and armor, this Stalker
    will force its MechWarrior to keep an eye constantly on his heat gauge.  It lacks
    the sophisticated Narc Beacon, but it has other sophisticated systems.  Two
    Thunderbolt-12 Large Pulse Lasers replace the Magna MK II models.  A Deprus
    Swarmshot Anti-Missile System and Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment provide
    extra protection.
