One of the most popular [[Star League]] [[BattleMech]]s, many a ''[[Highlander]]'' accompanied [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] into exile. Some were mothballed, but many found their way into the ''[[touman]]s'' of the [[Clan]]s. As technology advanced, the weapons systems were upgraded until the design known as the '''''Highlander IIC''''' finally emerged. Though no new ''Highlanders'' have been produced in over a century, several hundred are still in scattered use throughout the ''touman'' of every Clan.<ref name=TRO3060>''Technical Readout: 3060'', pp. 184-185, "Highlander IIC"</ref>

With the use of newer, lighter weapons, the damage potential of the ''Highlander'' has roughly doubled. The ''IIC'' also contains enough ammunition that it rarely needs to conserve any during Trials. Clan scientists were forced to rearrange the placement of some weapons within the 'Mech to allow it proper ammo feeds, but the design is largely unchanged. It carries the maximum amount of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor that can be crammed on the frame, fourteen and a half tons. As with the original, the ''IIC'' carries enough [[jump jet]]s to move up to ninety meters at a time, allowing [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] to execute the "[[Death from Above|Highlander Burial]]".<ref name=TRO3060/>
