Description

One of the reconnaissance mainstays of the SLDF, the Firefly was not as fast as its contemporaries but was often much more heavily armed. Unfortunately this lack of speed contributed to its downfall and the Firefly was thought extinct until the Wolf's Dragoons began using them in their forces. The FFL-3A is the original Firefly that served with the SLDF, and remains the rarest, with only a handful in ComGuard units. It is armed with three Medium Lasers, four Small Lasers, a TAG unit and an LRM-5 rack with two tons of ammunition in CASE'd bins.

Description

One of the reconnaissance mainstays of the SLDF, the Firefly was not as fast as its contemporaries but was often much more heavily armed. Unfortunately this lack of speed contributed to its downfall and the Firefly was thought extinct until the Wolf's Dragoons began using them in their forces. The FFL-4A is the first model of the 'Mech that served in the Wolf's Dragoons, confounding many intelligence services in the Inner Sphere by its appearance until the truth of the Dragoons came out. This variant is armed with three Medium Lasers, four Small Lasers, and an LRM-5 with a single ton of ammunition.

Description

One of the reconnaissance mainstays of the SLDF, the Firefly was not as fast as its contemporaries but was often much more heavily armed. Unfortunately this lack of speed contributed to its downfall and the Firefly was thought extinct until the Wolf's Dragoons began using them in their forces. The FFL-4B makes an attempt at upgrading the -4A model by replacing all three Small Lasers with an AMS to give the Firefly greater protection on an increasingly unfriendly battlefield. Another change is the CASE protecting both the AMS and LRM ammunition.

Description

One of the reconnaissance mainstays of the SLDF, the Firefly was not as fast as its contemporaries but was often much more heavily armed. Unfortunately this lack of speed contributed to its downfall and the Firefly was thought extinct until the Wolf's Dragoons began using them in their forces. An upgrade of Fireflies in ComStar's inventory, the -4C radically alters the basic Firefly by replacing the engine and skeleton with an XL model and Endo-Steel respectively, as well as installing Double Heat Sinks. The -4C emulates the -4B by replacing the Small Lasers with an AMS and CASE, but also upgrades all three Medium Lasers to Pulse models and installs Artemis IV for the LRM rack.

Description

One of the reconnaissance mainstays of the SLDF, the Firefly was not as fast as its contemporaries but was often much more heavily armed. Unfortunately this lack of speed contributed to its downfall and the Firefly was thought extinct until the Wolf's Dragoons began using them in their forces. Reported rarely in the hands of Clan forces, the Firefly C eschews the XL engine of more advanced Clan BattleMechs but does use an Endo-Steel skeleton. The -C is used as a brawler, armed with three Medium Pulse Lasers, four ER Small Lasers, and an SRM-2.
