================================================================================================
Overview:
    Sometimes called the "Firebug" or "Fire Locust", the LCT-1F is one of several similar
    configurations that turn the classic Locust in a fast incendiary platform.
    
    Replacing the Sperry-Brownings with a pair of Firestorm flamers, these machines were a
    stopgap measure due to a lack of Firestarters during the Reunification War. These were
    produced in the Free Worlds League, but the SLDF did modify LCT-1Vs to fill this role, as
    have others since then. Periphery states claim that it was used to destroy not only infantry
    but also to start fires in croplands and forest fires, something that the Star League
    vehemently denied.

Variants:
    Similar modifications of the Locust have existed for some time. Some replace the center
    torso medium laser of the 1V with a single flamer, but put a pair of medium lasers into the
    arms which requires more work. At least two based off the -3V are known to exist with the
    second medium laser swapped for a flamer. These are believed to be custom machines, or in
    the case of the -3V based ones, trial units.
