The
Locust was one of the most produced and common BattleMechs of the fallen
Star League. Bergan Industries began production of the 'Mech at eight
of their facilities in 2499, and was still in peak production when the
Star League fell several years later. Several variants of the 'Mech
have been produced and modified over the years, creating quite distinct
versions. All modifications involve upgrading the Locust's firepower.
The Locust was originally designed as a light and fast recon vehicle,
a role it has fulfilled well for both the old Star League and the later
Successor States. Lightly armed and very mobile, it offers fast recon
ability as well as quick strike capability. The Locust of 3025 retains
these features, but in many cases also acts as a frontline 'Mech. The
variant on display here swaps the machine guns for SRM launchers.
