FLS-7Kx Flashman History: The 75-ton Flashman is one of the most effective BattleMechs ever built. Originally put into production by Renault-Prime on Wasat beginning in 2701, its configuration of exclusively energy-based weapons allowed it operate almost indefinitely on the field of battle. It quickly became one of the most highly sought after BattleMechs among SLDF line regiments, often finding a home in heavy and assault lances. In fact, the SLDF would go onto to create a number of battalions consisting only of Flashmen. Being assigned a Flashman was all but a guarantee a MechWarrior would serve on the frontlines and see extensive combat. Jokingly referred to as the “Flashbulb” due to its distinctive bulb-like chest, the FLS-8K packs a trio of Seiltex Radionic large lasers, five Ichiba 3000 medium lasers, including a rear mounted one, and a Zippo Mk. X flamer for use against infantry and other soft targets. Not only is the Flashman capable of laying down a nonstop barrage of laser fire, its also protected with 13.5 tons of Kemplar 5000 armor, making it more heavily armored than many other assault class BattleMechs. Its thick hide is not its only protection either. The Flashman also mounts a Buzzsaw anti-missile system. This system reduces the damage from incoming missiles strike by almost 20%, making it an even more difficult to bring down. Equipped with 15 double strength heat sinks, the Flashman can also maintain a blistering rate of fire, which is quite an accomplishment for a ‘Mech carrying so many heat intensive weapons. Its electronics are also remarkable. A Duotek 195 handles communications duties but the Faust/Shinji AT/TS is among the most accurate targeting and tracking systems ever made. The Faust/Shinji is almost among the most specialized T&T systems ever created. Since the Flashman is armed only with direct energy weapons, the T&T system is specifically built to handle the unique profile of lasers. This specialization comes at a cost, however. Most other Targeting and Tracking systems can be reprogrammed for use in other model BattleMechs. Dynatec systems, for example, are found as standard equipment in the Stinger, Quickdraw and Awesome and the versatile O/P series of T&T systems are used in the Locust, Spider, Shadow Hawk and Warhammer. Attempts to repurpose the Faust/Shinji, however, have all failed, often even resulting in degraded performance when forced to hande ballistic and missile based weapons. The Flashman is powered by a state-of-the-art General Motors 375 Extralight fusion engine. This mammoth power plant can propel the 75-ton ‘Mech at speeds approaching 90 kph, making the Flashman shockingly quick and nimble for such a heavy machine. If there is drawback to this successful and effective design it was the price tag. At almost 18 million C-bills per unit, the FLS-8K was by far the most expensive 75- ton BattleMech, and one of the most expensive ever manufactured regardless of size, costing twice that of the 100-ton AS7-D Atlas. Production would temporarily end with the destruction of the Renault-Prime assembly lines in 2796. Defiance Industries then acquired the design schematics and production blueprints from the now defunct Renault- Prime and opened a line for it in their massive Hesperus II facility. Unfortunately, neither Defiance Industries nor any of its subcontractors such as Edasich Motors, were capable of producing the advanced lightweight GM 375XL engine and consequently the Defiance engineers had to adapt the original -8K design to use available technologies. The resulting design, the -7K, is a pale shadow of its former glorious self. Forced to replace the GM 375XL with the commonly produced Vlar 300, found on ‘Mechs throughout the Inner Sphere from the Dragon and Marauder to the Orion and Atlas, it is one of the most well understood fusion engines still manufactured by the Successor States. This change dropped the top speed of the FLS-7K to 64.8 kph, close the average speed for a ‘Mech of this 129 size. Also gone are the double-strength heat sinks, replaced instead with 23 standard ones. The chest mounted heavy laser has been removed along with the lostech Buzzsaw anti-missile system. The armor is the only thing that remains unchanged from the -8K version, as Defiance Industries was also forced to change out the cockpit electronics, using their familiar TharHes counterparts. Notable ‘Mech and MechWarriors: Captain Rabbie “Rabies” Ramsay A member of Marion's Highlanders, a unit of the illustrious Northwind Highlanders, Captain Ramsay’s Flashman is one of the few, if not the only one, left retaining the original GM 375XL engine. Traditionally favoring heavy and assault class designs, one of the Marion’s Highlanders most recent actions was the defense of Almach against the House Davion’s elite Deneb Light Calvary. During the heavy fighting, Ramsay’s Flashman proved a stalwart point of defense and an effectiverally point, although by the end his ‘Mech was seriously damaged. While replacement limbs are available from Defiance Industries, it is unknown how Captain Ramsay, and those before him, have been able to maintain the sophisticated GM 375 engine, leading many to suspect Northwind must have been home to a Star League lostech tech. Located so close to Terra, it is well known Northwind was originally part of the Terran Hegemony and at one time produced both the Crab and King Crab BattleMechs for the SLDF on plant. Ramay’s Flashman carries three heavy lasers along with four medium lasers. It retains the formidable speed and heat dissipation of the orginal. However, due to the less than perfect repairs on its advanced engine, it has been forced to drop the rear mounted medium laser, antimissile system, and a half ton of armor in order to prevent overstressing the chassis.
