Description
The Flea is an extremely rare light 'Mech that is only seen in any number within the Wolf's Dragoons mercenary unit. The Flea is generally used as a recon 'Mech because of its maximum speed of 97.2 km/h which is augmented with a MASC system that allows the 'Mechs speed to be pushed up to 129.6 km/h in short bursts. The Flea has also been pressed into service as an anti-personnel 'Mech when required.
Armament
As the Flea is a recon 'Mech, it has a very light weapons payload that primarily focuses on self-defence. The primary weapons are two Martell Medium Pulse Lasers. These are backed up by an Olympian Flamer which works well for anti-personnel use. The Flea also has two Martell Small Lasers for point defense.
Variants
- FLE-4 - An early variant of the Flea, the FLE-4 is built on a standard chassis and has a maximum speed of 97.2 km/h. The 'Mech is armed with a Large Laser as its primary weapon. This allows it to attempt to keep any heavier 'Mechs at a stand-off range if they attempt to engage. The 'Mech carries two Small Lasers for close in work as well as a Flamer for anti-infantry purposes. BV (1.0) = 360
- FLE-15 - The FLE-15 is another early variant of the 'Mech. It represents a midpoint between the 4 and 17 variants. The 'Mech is armed with two Medium Lasers as its primary weapons. These are backed up by two Small Lasers for close in work. An excellent 'Mech for anti-infantry work, the 'Mech also carries a very deadly anti-personnel arsenal consisting of two Machine Guns and a Flamer. BV (1.0) = 352
