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.
This widespread popularity and versatility would see it spread across the [[Inner Sphere]], with each major [[House]] fielding their own variant of ''WarHammer'' to this day.


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.

First fielded in 2515, the WarHammer was intended as a heavy engagement platform made to destroy or severely damage any 'Mech in its own weight class or lower. To this end, it has proven quite successful.

StarCorp was commissioned to create the WarHammer to serve as the heavy weapons platform of the Star League Defense Force, where it proved sufficient for the needs of the line regiments it had been assigned to without proving too costly to be viable. A powerful offensive battery made it ideal for advancing and breaking enemy formations, with weapons specializing in anti-'Mech, vehicle, and infantry operations.

This widespread popularity and versatility would see it spread across the Inner Sphere, with each major House fielding their own variant of WarHammer to this day.
