STP
From Invasion3042 Wiki
The STP-P Stooping Hawk Primary is a 55 ton medium mech originally specific to Clan Blood Spirit.

[edit] Blurb
The frame of the Stooping Hawk is constructed with an extralight endo steel skeleton, advanced Compound Alpha ferro-fibrous armor and double heat sinks. The Blood Spirit scientists' caste recognized that Khan Boques would not approve of the extralight engine, and used a standard engine for the Stooping Hawk. The XL power plant, with its comparative lack of durability on the battlefield, would have defied Khan Boques' order for low-cost, rugged 'Mech designs. The materials used in the Stooping Hawk were considered excessive by Blood Spirit standards, and the weaponry the designers managed to load into its four initial configurations was likewise extreme. Massive autocannons, particle projector cannons, advanced missile tracking systems and an advanced targeting computer appear in version of this design. Other Clans mount these systems in their Omnis as a matter of course but the Blood Spirit Khans regularly review the Stooping Hawk performance records to determine if the results continue to justify the cost. If not for its ongoing battlefield success, this atypical Spirit 'Mech would have been decommissioned long ago.
[edit] Description
The Stooping Hawk mounts a (C) ER Medium Laser and (C) Medium Pulse Laser in each arm, as well as a (C) AC 10 Ultra in the right torso. While this weapon loadout gives all-round firepower, it comes at the expense of susceptibility to damage. The Stooping Hawk is also shorter range than most other Clan mechs, with no weapons that go beyond standard Inner Sphere PPC range. However, as it is mounted on a 5/8/5 chassis, this is somewhat less of a problem than it might have been.
[edit] Combat record
There are currently 67 STPs active, with a further 11 having been destroyed. They have made 37 kills.
[edit] Production
Blueprints for the STP are available to Clan Blood Spirit empires from Comstar's blueprints division.
