================================================================================================
Overview:
    Of the new BattleMechs introduced in the Inner Sphere with rediscovered and technology, the
    Nightstar is one of the most effective. Created by Clan Wolf-in-Exile, the Nightstar IIC
    OmniMech is quite capable of destroying any opponent, Clan or Inner Sphere.
    
    As the Nightstar IIC slowly becomes more popular, more variants are coming into service.
    Most of them stick with the Prime's layout of a pair of heavy weapons, with energy backups.
    Two are close combat machines, while the other two are fire support 'Mechs. While the jump
    jets and ER PPC are not part of the base chasis, every current variant does carry them. As
    with many Clan 'Mechs, the Nightstar IIC often has overheating problems.

Capabilities:
    The B variant is quite similar to the A variant. It is not designed for a different purpose,
    so much as a different approach. Still meant for urban combat, the B is designed for a more
    conservative piloting style. The LBX autocannon provide greater flexibility while reducing
    ammunition consumption. The jump jets remain, and the energy weapons are roughly comparable
    to the A's. Eight tons of ammunition give the B superb staying power, and the ECM gives it a
    defense against the more advanced systems at close range.
