	The ''~~Commando~~'' was ~~one of the first attempts at~~ the ~~creation of~~ a [[BattleMech]] by the [[~~Lyran Commonwealth~~]], ~~meant as~~ a ~~reconnaissance 'Mech made to challenge the successful ''[[Stinger]]''~~ and ~~''[[Wasp]]'' BattleMechs~~.		The ''UrbanMech'' was designed to answer the call for a true city fighting [[BattleMech\|'Mech]] for the [[The Star League\|Star League]]. Orguss Industries went with a cheap, well armed platform with a compact profile for ease of maneuver in tight Star League cities and other difficult urban environments.

	~~Engineered by the then Coventry Defense Conglomerate, it was tested on [[Coventry]] in [[Year 2483\|2483]].~~ The ~~prototype Commando used~~ a ~~right arm mounted [[Large Laser]]~~, ~~supplemented by an SRM-6 missile system~~. It ~~proved unsuitable for function initially due to the large heat buildup in the arm, resulting in~~ a ~~retooling of the design to the modern 2D configuration.~~		The result is a squat, broad bodied machine with stubby arms to minimize hindrance in narrow city streets. It presents a difficult target, while optimizing its own limited mobility with Jump Jets to surmount buildings and obstacles. This would serve it well in the many policing actions and urban engagements it would be used in for centuries, making it a favorite amongst militias and defensive units across the Inner Sphere.

	~~Many early efforts were made by the [[The Star League\|Star League]] to procure the design, but the efforts were stymied by [[Lyran Commonwealth]] officials~~, ~~who managed to keep the homegrown design in their~~ own ~~hands.

The ''Commando'' was one of the first attempts at the creation of a [[BattleMech]] by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], meant as a reconnaissance 'Mech made to challenge the successful ''[[Stinger]]'' and ''[[Wasp]]'' BattleMechs.

Engineered by the then Coventry Defense Conglomerate, it was tested on [[Coventry]] in [[Year 2483|2483]]. The prototype Commando used a right arm mounted [[Large Laser]], supplemented by an SRM-6 missile system. It proved unsuitable for function initially due to the large heat buildup in the arm, resulting in a retooling of the design to the modern 2D configuration.

Many early efforts were made by the [[The Star League|Star League]] to procure the design, but the efforts were stymied by [[Lyran Commonwealth]] officials, who managed to keep the homegrown design in their own hands. These efforts would pay off, forcing the [[Star League Defense Force]] to buy them from the manufacturers. This decision would bolster the prestige and funding for the Conglomerate, and played a critical role in the funding of their primary factory, Coventry Metal Works.
