Stalker STK-8S

The Stalker STK-8S is an 85-ton juggernaut, a 3064 rework of the 2594 STK-3F, holding the same 32 km/h cruising speed and 54 km/h top speed on a 255 light fusion engine in place of the original's standard fusion plant. Where the STK-3F carries paired LRM 10 racks, four medium lasers, twin large lasers, and paired SRM 6 launchers, this variant drops all of that for an ER PPC and a Medium Pulse Laser in each arm, an ER Medium Laser in each torso, and a Heavy Gauss Rifle in the center torso. Sixteen double heat sinks replace the base model's 20 single heat sinks. The minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and the combat computer carry over from the STK-3F. Defiance Industries builds it at Furillo.
