Recognition notes
The LCT-3S rebuilds the Locust as a 20-ton striker that closes to short range, where the LCT-1V of 2499 served as a scout. In place of the twin machine guns it carries a Streak SRM 2 in each arm, and the medium laser in the center torso carries over unchanged. Endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor replace the base model's standard components, and CASE lines the left torso. Cruising and top speeds hold at 86 and 130 km/h, and the type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette and cramped cockpit. Defiance Industries builds it at Furillo.
