Overview:
    Released with little fanfare alongside the JR7-F4S was a quiet mea culpa to the customer
    base who had balked at the -F4 years prior. The -F3S was an attempt to have these customers
    still feel included and offer a more affordable way to integrate C3 networks into their
    fighting formations. Like the -F4S, upgrade kits were offered to convert units of the -F3
    already in service but the process was even more laborious and involved than modifying the
    -F4.
    
    Unsurprisingly, the -F3S was not considered successful. Customers who loved the -F3 were
    unlikely to have an adequate budget to entertain the idea of implementing C3 networks. Where
    units were sold was to clients of limited means but forward thinking, like the mercenary
    company Lost Caws.

Capabilities:
    The -F3S didn't just have C3 connectivity, it also had a Guardian unit to provide ECCM and
    thereby protect the target telemetry feed to the lance master computer. In all other
    respects it was an -F3.
    
    The Guardian was also a modular unit and could be swapped out for a Beagle probe, adding
    flexibility to the -F3S where customers were willing to spend some extra for the swap kit.

Variants:
    Despite it's lack of popularity in the market, aficionados consider the -F3S to be among
    Promethean Armouries' best mechs. The combination of functionality and performance into an
    affordable package was considered a pinnacle of their engineering prowess.
    
    One option available with the JR7-F3S was an easy way to swap out the Guardian ECM for a
    Beagle probe, allowing the striker to pull double duty as a scout. The majority of -F3S sold
    were Guardian models, with a smaller subset sold with swap kits. The rarest variant of the
    -F3S were those which came from factory with Beagle instead of Guardian. If customers wanted
    the option for both then a Beagle swap kit would be supplied with each battlemech purchased,
    so the module in the mech was only changed at factory when a customer wanted Beagle
    exclusively. While considered an interesting novelty, the -F3S with Beagle from factory
    isn't a highly valued a collector's item. Authenticity can be verified using serial numbers.
