    When Kressly Warworks came out with the original Stormfire in 3058, the AFFC barely paid it
    a second glance. But with the heavy losses of the FedCom Civil War, the AFFS has a great
    need for inexpensive BattleMechs, so that it can quickly rebuild. The Stormfire's standard
    fusion engine and its lack of endo steel or ferro fibrous armor make it very inexpensive.
    And so, in late 3067, Kressly received the completely unexpected request from the AFFS for a
    high tech version of the Stormfire. The resulting BattleMech is more expensive than the
    original, but still vastly less expensive than something like the Saggitaire or Devastator.

Capabilities:
    The SMF-1D begins with a pair of Johnston High Speed ER PPCs, which give it impressive
    damage at a longer range than the older PPCs can manage. Space concerns resulted in the
    removal of the paired LRM 5 racks; they are replaced with a single, Artemis-slaved Federated
    LRM 10. To defend itself at short range, the SMF-1D carries a pair of Harpoon 6-S Streak SRM
    6 racks, which can accurately inflict heavy damage on any opponent. The SRMs are augmented
    by a pair of BlazeFire ER medium lasers. A flamer was originally intended to replace the
    machine gun, but the idea eventually gave way to the addition of a Guardian ECM suite.
    
    
    
    Double heat sinks cover the heat produced by the SMF-1D's long rangew weapons, while also
    freeing up enough tonnage for the various high tech additions. Still, just like the original
    Stormfire, the SMF-1D's heat sinks are incapable of handling the heat of an alpha strike.

Deployment:
    Only four SMF-1Ds have been delivered as of yet. These four have benn scattered through the
    Davion Assault Guards. It is intended that SMF-1Ds will eventually be deployed to many of
    the AFFS's frontline units.
