The Cazadore is a technological curiosity in that no one is sure when exactly it first appeared in the Inner Sphere Military minds.  The Extremely light and fast Turbofan VTOL is lighter then the old Marten Scout, and uses known technologies, right down to it's Fuel Cell Engine.  it is clear that this machine was built for high speed passes against either unaware, or otherwise occupied targets.  Cazadore VTOLs are sold in Kits and need to be hand assembled, but once constructed are easy to maintain, and durable enough when it comes to the rigors of it's flight profile.  what has made these units attractive to pilots is the low price point, at less then a quarter a million C Bills per unit, a good pilot (or Lucky) can deal over 20 times cost in damage that thier vehicle costs to purchase.


Variants
The Cazadore has seemingly evolved with the times.  Rocket Launcher equipped units have appeared when more firepower is needed, Heavy machine gun's tied to arrays have made appearances.  Each variation uses more expensive and elaborate equipment however, particularly in the engine.  One Variant that has appeared, only identified by the registry numbers BIG-MT and a serial number uses a XXL engine based on it's thermal profile and heavily modified body.  we can also presume it uses Clan made Ferro Lammeror armor since it was capable of making high speed runs through Flak Fields with nothing more then scorch marks
