================================================================================================
Overview:
    Of the new BattleMechs introduced in the Inner Sphere with rediscovered and technology, the
    Nightstar is one of the most effective. Created by Clan Wolf-in-Exile, the Nightstar IIC
    OmniMech is quite capable of destroying any opponent, Clan or Inner Sphere.
    
    As the Nightstar IIC slowly becomes more popular, more variants are coming into service.
    Most of them stick with the Prime's layout of a pair of heavy weapons, with energy backups.
    Two are close combat machines, while the other two are fire support 'Mechs. While the jump
    jets and ER PPC are not part of the base chasis, every current variant does carry them. As
    with many Clan 'Mechs, the Nightstar IIC often has overheating problems.

Capabilities:
    The A variant is designed to do enormous damage at close range, and is preferred for urban
    environments. The ER Large Laser and ER PPC give it a respectable ranged punch when needed,
    and the pulse lasers provide extra firepower in close. The jump jets greatly increase
    mobility, and can be a deadly surprise for those unfamiliar with the 'Mech's capabilities.
    Eight tons of ammunition give the A variant lengevity in combat.
