Recognition Notes
The Locust LCT-1E is a 20-ton scout that fights close in, a 2811 refit of the 2499 LCT-1V original. Where the LCT-1V carries a machine gun in each arm and a medium laser in the center torso, the LCT-1E replaces the arm-mounted machine guns with a medium laser and a small laser in each arm and drops the center torso weapon. It cruises at 86 km/h and tops out near 130 km/h, with a low, hard-to-target silhouette and minimal weapon-pod arms without hands. Bergan Industries builds it at Ares, with field refits carried out at other sites.
