==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Lightning''''' 'Mech was developed as a partner for the ''[[Thunder (BattleMech)|Thunder]]''-2L BattleMech. It uses the same chassis, engine, gyro, and communications systems as the ''Thunder''. This greatly simplifies logistics and repair operations.

==Weapons and Equipment==
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
Focusing solely on long range combat, the ''Lightning'' carries a [[Defiance Annihilator]] [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]] and a [[Ceres Arms Eradicator]] [[Heavy Particle Projection Cannon]]. These weapons inflict heavy damage at long range, rapidly stripping armor from nearby units. Three tons of ammunition are carried for the Gauss Rifle. The lack of short range weapons is deliberate because the [[Strategios]] wants the ''Lightning'' to focus on long range combat while the ''Thunder'' handles close in conflict.
