================================================================================================
Overview:
    Originally intended as a stealthy hunter-killer of light and medium 'Mechs for the SLDF, the
    Grasshopper entered service in 2780 after hostilities had already ceased in the Amaris Civil
    War. Problems integrating the original stealth systems with the chassis meant the
    Grasshopper missed the climactic end to the conflict and these systems were ultimately
    removed from the final design. Clan Donka has revitalized the design with Clan Tech and have
    included state of the art electronic systems.

Capabilities:
    The Grasshopper carries as its primary long range weapons are twin ER Large Lasers in its
    centre torso and two Artemis IV FCS LRM-15s in the side torsos. Supplementing the main
    weapons at close range are five Medium Lasers, one in each arm and torso locations. This
    allows the Grasshopper to return fire from any angle with but a torso twist.
