================================================================================================
Overview:
    A heavy and dedicated laser boat built for combat
    far from friendly supply lines, the FLS-8K Flashman entered
    production in 2701 and quickly became a mainstay
    of the Terran Hegemony?s armed forces and, later,
    the SLDF. The unquestionable effectiveness of this design
    made it a perfect Battlemech for a Royal variant.

Capabilities:
    All Royal units were issued the FLS -8Rb variant to replace thier standard FLS -8K Flashman.
    
    The FLS -8Rb includes endo-steel chassis, two more double heat sinks, two ER large lasers
    backed up by four forward firing medium lasers and two rear ward firing medium lasers, and
    replaces the flamer with a small laser. It retains the AMS and one ton of ammunition, which
    is now protected by CASE.

Deployment:
    Following SLDF standard policy, only the Royal Battlemech units received the newest, most
    advanced variant of the new FLS -8Rb Flashman.

Variants:
    No known variants.
