================================================================================================
Overview:
    SCL-1K Scout Leader was deigned after the experience with Thrallmaster hovercraft.
    Thrallmaster was fast C3 carrier designed to carry master computer for fast scout lances,
    but Kurita warriors protested against the fact that they are led by some vehicle. Techs and
    scientists worked hard to cramp something as heavy and bulky as C3 master computer to as
    small  chassis as possible and in 3067 first Scout Leader emerged from Diplan mechyards
    halls on Ozawa.

Capabilities:
    Original scout leader carried only single ER PPC and C3 master computer, but commanders
    wanted to join their lance-mates and face the enemy directly. Techs removed the PPC and
    installed 5 new ER medium lasers, one ER small and Guardian ECM suite. Scout Leader is built
    on reinforced chassis of Lightning scout mech. Techs were afraid of using dangerous MASC
    equipment on so important mech and replaced it with Triple Strength Myomers. Pilots usually
    try to stay out of range of enemy short range weapons and use targeting data provided by
    other mechs, but thanks to TSM they aren't too shy to close and use it's fists.
    
    
    
    Scout Leader still has problems with fragile XL engine and thin rear armor plating. Because
    of it's small size even front armor can be pierced by anything heavier than PPC, so it must
    keep moving.

Deployment:
    SCL-1K is impossible to see on the field. First tests are performed by factory technicians
    on simulators.
