================================================================================================
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 primary problem with the Naga has always been its defenselessness. Although this
    mattered little before, the exiled Wolves cannot afford such wastefulness in their current
    situation. Like the Naga, the Nightstar IIC D mounts a pair of Arrow Missile systems to
    provide long range artillery support. However, with three ER Large lasers and an ER PPC, the
    D is anything but defenseless. Jump jets let it get into superior firing positions, and
    eight tons of ammunition let it maintain fire for longer than many other 'Mechs with similar
    purpose. The only inferiority to the Naga is the Nightstar's low top speed and its heat
    inefficiency.
