==History==
+
This battle was the final test, after three weeks of grueling testing for a new screening or recon force vehicle that [[House Steiner]] was soliciting had left only two vehicles for consideration. [[Samuel Lewis]], president of [[S.L. Lewis Inc.]], piloted his prototype hovercraft. Over the course of a day, Lewis consistently won all trial engagements against Johnson, darting behind her 'Mech while his own vehicle could barely be targeted because of its speed. Johnson remained cool until after her 12th defeat; after her 15th defeat Lewis began to taunt her and question her abilities. During the 17th battle she snapped and turned the mock battle into a live-fire duel that she lost as well, surviving the destruction of her ''Locust'' through auto-ejection when its ammunition stores exploded from a hit.<ref name=TR26>''Technical Readout: 3026'', p. 6; reproduced verbatim in ''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', p. 10</ref><ref name=RG16p6>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 16'', p. 6</ref>

The as-yet unnamed hovercraft was named [[Savannah Master]] by Lewis following the trial, and the LCAF immediately ordered 1,000 units. It would go on to become a staple recon vehicle throughout the [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Periphery]].<ref name=TR26/><ref name=RG16p6/>
