================================================================================================
Overview:
    LGH-3K Lightning is fast scout mech, that will supplement or replace Hitman in light
    elements of elite DCMS units. Lightning was designed to meet specifications from 3065
    calling for fast scout and raider for hit-and-run tactics. One production line of Diplan
    mech-yards of Ozawa is now being retooled to produce small numbers of this design.

Capabilities:
    Beagle active probe in combination with C3 slave unit makes core of Lightning's scouting
    abilities. Three ER medium lasers and head mounted SRM-4 pack give it firepower similar to
    Jenner, another popular Kurita mech, and MASC allows it to fade away from tight situation
    quickly. Most pilots keep complaining about light armor and unprotected SRM ammo, but this
    seems to be the only major flaw on this design.

Deployment:
    First Lightnings were assigned to 1st Sword of light. The design is too new to see combat,
    but it performed well during last combat tests.
