Notes:
IMK-08 Death Stalker: Possibly the most infamous unit ever to be deployed by any Algolian nation, the Deathstalker was designed with frantic haste about a year into the Archipelago War. After initial stunning successes, the Kargans had suffered a series of shocking setbacks and were being pressed back by the Elarans. Kargan MekTon pilots were being outclassed by the latest Elaran units.
        The IMK-08 went from drawing pad to production in just six months, and underwent a records *one* days safety testing. Marching straight onto the battlefields, it began winning battles as soon as it appeared, its machine rifle, bazooka, and most feared of all, the deadly Rastas short sword, demolishing everything thrown against it. The Elaran advance was halted largely by the ever growing numbers of IMK-08s, and the Archipelago War became a grinding stalemate for the next four years.
        Not surprisingly for such a hastlily built machine, the IMK-08 suffered from a few flaws. Armour was fairly light, so the type was often forced to rely on its shield, made of a denser alloy than standard plating. There was no backup
for the sensor system, it was always somewhat clumsy in flight, and the basic frame was somewhat larger than strictly neccesary.
        This last flaw became the types greatest strength. By removing the basic armament, there was plenty of room for different equipment and weapons fits. the wings were found to be ideal for hanging additional missiles or bombs on. Dozens of variants were built, from the popular Duo Gun to the rare Blitz Stalker, and the type stayed in production until 1522. Over 2000 were produced, and the IMK-08 even outlasted its supposed replacement, the IMK-15 War Stalker, which had a production total only a third that of the Death Stalker, and stopped being manufactured first!
