================================================================================================
Overview:
The number of 'mechs at the Star League's disposal enabled the SLDF to deploy a proportion
of specialist configurations far in excess of specialized designs deployed by the Successor
States, who's limited 'mech resources deter military commanders from configuring 'mechs for
use in specific situations. The LCT-17B is an example of such a specialist configuration.
Capabilities:
The LCT-17 was envisioned as a dedicated infantry hunter. It was typically deployed in a
lance with three Locust-1Vs, which could provide heavier firepower against any armor
opposition, while the LCT-17 would use it's Beagle Probe to detect hidden infantry unts
before they could ambush the thinly armored Locusts. It was never deployed alone, as it's
lack of anti-mech weapons left it vulnerable, although it's speed constitutes a significant
defense.
Deployment:
The LCT-17 saw heavy action during the urban warfare which characterized the Reunification
War and the early battles of the Succession Wars. It was never a widely popular 'mech, but
many of it's pilots developed considerable tactical skill, learning to exploit the
capabilities of this unique 'mech to the utmost.
