================================================================================================
Overview:
    During the design process, emphasis was placed on the scouting capabilities of the -F2 while
    preserving the machine's raison d’être; starting fires. Superior capability came at a
    premium and the -F2 was nearly double the price of its contemporary variants, the -S models.
    PA rolled with that as part of their marketing campaign, embracing the perception of
    Promethean Armouries as an up-market manufacturer and pitching the -F2 as having the
    usefulness of two scout mechs with the operating costs of one.

Capabilities:
    The FS9-F2 could be described as an "upgraded" variant of the FS9-S series, although
    Promethean Armouries insists the variants were developed independently (and investigations
    turned up no evidence of malfeasance). The FS9-Q2 is faster, better armoured, and carries
    both Guardian and Beagle.

Variants:
    The successor to the FS9-F was designed after multiple significant advancements came onto
    the market, including Ravensbourne Specialist Engineering spinning up their own production
    line of double heat sinks. (RSE-branded heat sinks can be found in many mechs manufactured
    in and adjacent to the Lyran Commonwealth and are actually one of the company's biggest
    sources of revenue.)
