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