The first [[LAM|Land-Air 'Mech]] off the drawing board, the ''[[Shadow Hawk LAM]]'', proved so fatally flawed the concept was almost shelved altogether. However, [[LexaTech Industries]] reworked the conversion equipment and unveiled the first viable LAM based on the old ''[[Stinger]]'' design, the '''''Stinger LAM''''', in [[Introduction Year::2688]]. LexaTech's reworking of the concept proved so successful that the Land-Air 'Mech became highly sought after, especially for operations on [[w:Minor planet|minor planets]] such as asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets. In fact, the ''Stinger LAM'' first saw combat destroying a nuclear weapons facility in the [[w:Oort cloud|Oort Cloud]] orbiting Sol, [[Terra]]'s star. Despite never being produced in large numbers, there were still many in service during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 126</ref> due in part to the LexaTech facility on the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Irece]] remaining intact. It was the last such facility in the [[Inner Sphere]], and was able to construct new ''Stinger LAM''s as well as new parts.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 290-292</ref> The loss of the factory to the forces of [[Clan Nova Cat]] in [[Production Ceased::3050]] during the [[Clan Invasion]] sounded the death knell for the Land-Air 'Mech as a viable combat unit, as the Nova Cats viewed Land-Air 'Mechs as an abomination and utterly razed the LexaTech factory to the ground.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p.114</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The standard production model uses three [[Magna (ML)|Magna]] [[medium laser]]s mounted on the head and arms. It is powered by a [[GM 180]] [[fusion engine]], allowing a maximum ground speed of 97.2 km/h supported by six [[GM ATO 100]] [[jump jet]]s for a jumping range of 180 meters. While in [[aerospace fighter]] mode it is able to reach a cruising speed 194 km/h, and accelerate to a flanking speed of 291 km/h. ==Variants== *; STG-A1 (''Stinger LAM'' MK I) : The original ''Stinger LAM'' used by the [[Star League Defense Force Royal Divisions]], this version carried a [[medium pulse laser]] and replaced the [[machine gun]]s with [[small pulse laser]]s.
