| In 
          response to orders from General Aleksandr Kerensky for the production 
          of a new medium 'Mech, Blue Shot Weaponry was awarded a contract in 
          2765 to build the Starslayer for the SLDF. However, the numerous delays 
          that plagued Blue Shot throughout the 'Mech's production run prevented 
          it from being built in great numbers. By the time the bugs had been 
          worked out, the SLDF was embroiled in the Amaris Civil War, and more 
          Starslayers ended up in storage than on the front lines. These hidden 
          Starslayers later became a boon to House and mercenary units that stumbled 
          on them. Recent versions of the Starslayer replace the standard chassis 
          with endo steel, making the 'Mech both lighter and sturdier. Built to 
          be rugged and dependable, the Starslayer was intended for garrison, 
          mop-up, and recon duties. The designers at Blue Shot used well-established 
          technologies in an effort to make the Starslayer easy to maintain and 
          to allow the 'Mech to remain in the field for long periods. Two large 
          lasers give the Starslayer its heavy firepower, backed up by two medium 
          lasers and a small laser. An SRM-4 missle pack enables the Starslayer 
          to engage in close fighting, and CASE protects the pilot from ammo explosions. | |||||
