| 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.
