LCT-4M LOCUST
the designers at Corean
, together with renegade ComStar Techs
, hit upon an engine that was readily available
While schematics were quickly drawn up
, negotiations to procure necessary components
now spread across three separate Provinces proved more complex during the 3rd Marik Civil War
, with sources spread across three separate provinces. Luckily
, enough parts were available in order to manufacturer a limited first run
, which proved to all parties that such an endeavor was in fact highly desirable.
Largely based off the 3M
, this new faster Locust shares many of its predecessor’s components.
Weighing as much as the old LTV 180 Fusion Engine
, this new reactor enabled the new 4M Locust to walk as quickly as the 1V ran.
While a three-ton gyroscope had to replace the older
two ton model in order to maintain balance
, this slight increase was considered worth it in order to improve the design.
With a maximum speed approaching two hundred kilometers per hour
, the only thing more impressive was the nearly two hundred and sixty kilometer per hour speed burst provided by its Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry.
Each arm is equipped with a Martell Medium Laser and one Magna Small Laser is fitted to the center torso
for weaponry. This all-energy arsenal
, while small and short range
, does not require reload allowing for extended deployments behind enemy lines.
These time-tested devices do an able job in
dispersing all such overheating keeping this new Locust cool in battle.
Still Its best defense against various battlefield threats is
still its massive speed advantage
, which now exceeds even the Clan Dasher.
First sent to Minister-General Paul Marik’s loyal forces in the 3rd Marik Civil War
, this new Locust was soon doled out to other friendly supporters.
Making technical specs for
in the field
-retrofitting available to certain regional factions who pledged themselves to his daughter
's, Corrine Marik,
cause assured their loyalty.
One of these worlds was Stewart
, whose Dragoons were well outfitted as a result of their special relationship to the Marik.
