================================================================================================
Overview:
    The RDF-3C Red Flame is the latest and also the smallest addition to the blakist quad
    'Flame' family. Intended to act as a scout and the lightest element of a C3i network, that
    can quickly establish contact with the enemy and stay in touch until heavier and more
    sophisticated brawler arrives. The Red Flame also seems to be meant to replace any Mongoose
    lost in fighting.

Capabilities:
    Sleek, almost ferret-like profile makes the Red Flame hard to hit and easy to hide even in
    relatively flat terrain. The armament isn't exceptional, but it can keep the enemy busy
    until the firepower of the rest of the level II can come to play. An integral Beagle Active
    Probe also allows the 'Mech to serve as a scout. Just like it's heavier counterparts the Red
    flame is build around light engine wrapped in heavy armour, which offers impressive
    protection for a 'Mech of this size, although the structural requirements prevented the rear
    areas from being sufficiently protected. The pilots are instructed to use the unique
    movement abilities to keep the back of their ride away from the enemy.

Deployment:
    Red Flames are being distributed quite evenly among various units operating under WoB flag,
    including the mercenaries and planetary militias.

Variants:
    The RDF-3C is too new to have any official variants, although there are quite a few field
    modifications. The most common are replacements of one of the lasers for a flamer, a small
    pulse laser or TAG. There are unconfirmed rumors about one of the prototypes being equipped
    with experimental mimetic armour, which would suggest that the WoB is still experimenting
    with the aplication of this technology on 'Mechs.
