==Description==
 
==Description==
A [[Solaris VII]] [[BattleMech]], the '''''Flashfire''''' uses the varying payloads of the [[fluid gun]]s to affect its enemies. The [[endo steel]] chassis and [[XL engine]] free up large amounts of weight, allowing the engineers to mount a variety of weapons. More importantly, it allows the ''Flashfire'' to carry [[jump jet]]s that can easily carry the 'Mech 120 meters, very useful when a pilot wants to get behind an enemy to attack the weak rear armor.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', p. 132</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
The ''Flashfire'' mounts two [[Omnitech Firehose]] [[fluid gun]]s as its primary weapons, backed up by a [[Holly (SRM-6)|Holly]] [[SRM-6]] launcher and four [[Diverse Optics (ER small laser)|Diverse Optics]] [[ER small laser]]s. The fluid guns can use a variety of payloads, from oil slicks to obscurants, and even [[Inferno (Missile)|Inferno]] loads. An enemy never knows what they'll face until the battle is joined. The [[spike]]s mounted on the left arm make the ''Flashfire'' a little more dangerous in hand to hand combat.

*; FLS-P2 : The original ''Flashfire'' lacks the FLS-P5's [[jump jet]]s, and mounts two [[flamer]]s and a [[medium pulse laser]] in each arm, as well as dual [[SRM-6]] launchers on the right shoulder. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 718<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 220</ref>

*; FLS-P4 : This is a retrofit of the FLS-P2, and upgrades the weapons to that of the FLS-P5. It trades in one [[SRM-6]] launcher for false ports and [[jump jet]]s. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 712<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 221</ref>
