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.
