          for the first time in 2742, the Mercury was an electronic marvel, the 
          showpiece of the Star League Defense Forces. Billed as an obvious successor 
          to the aging Stinger and Wasp, the Mercury answered many dreams of scout 
          lance pilots. The few critics of the design pointed out the lack of 
          jump jets. Despite this drawback, the Mercury can survive longer in 
          battle than the Stinger or Wasp because of its heavier weapons (2 medium 
          + 2 small laser) and the stronger armor. The largest concentration of 
          Mercuries was stationed on Terra. These all left with General Kerensky. | ||||||||
