Among the few advantages Federated Commonwealth forces enjoyed against the Clans was one of the most basic - the hatchet. A hatchet was first installed in the Hatchetman mech, and the design element was included in the more recent Axman. In light of the success of the Hatchetman and Axman against Clan forces, the FC military commissioned the Nightsky, a new hatchet-bearing 'Mech of a size midway between the Hatchetman and the Axman. Defiance Industries on Hesperus II released the first Nightskies into Federated Commonwealth hands in 3053. Response to the new design has been satisfactory.
