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.
Built to compete with the ''Wasp'' from [[General Mechanics Incorporated]], the ''Stinger'' was contracted with Earthwerks won the bid to build a new reconnaissance [[BattleMech]] for the [[Star League Defense Force]].


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.
The first ''Stingers'' stepped off the assembly line in 2479 and into the wars of the [[Inner Sphere]], rapidly becoming one of the most common 'Mechs ever produced. It has since found its way into every [[Successor State]] and [[Periphery]] realm, distinguishing itself as a cheap, high mobility scouting unit.


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.
It frequently found itself as a trainer, and many [[MechWarriors]] call the ''Stinger'' their first 'Mech.
