| Formerly 
          rare in the Inner Sphere, the Flea has been appearing in increasing 
          numbers in the past decade, mostly in the regiments of the mercenary 
          unit Wolf's Dragoons, which have been rebuilding since the devastation 
          of the Fourth Succession War and may now exceed their former strength. 
          Earthwerks Incorporated appears to be producing a version incorporating 
          recovered technology, perhaps under exclusive contract to the Dragoons. This model takes advantage of its lighter endo steel structure to replace the earlier Flea's medium lasers with more potent medium pulse lasers. Because the Dragoons use the Flea far more often in a reconnaissance role than as an antipersonnel 'Mech, Earthwerks dropped the pair of SperryBrowning machine guns, replacing them with Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry. Though dangerous to use, the MASC technology is sometimes the only way for the Flea to escape a bad situation because it lacks the speed and jumping ability of many other light 'Mechs. | ||||
