Since it was reintroduced to the [[Inner Sphere]], the 'Mech has been refitted by [[Wolf's Dragoons]] with [[Star League]] technology. The ''Firefly'' is a well-armed recon 'Mech that tips the scales at thirty tons, with a maximum ground speed of 86.4 km/h, the and ability to jump up to 120 meters. As a scout 'Mech, the ''Firefly'' gives average performance with its energy weapon-heavy arsenal and is useful in both a recon and guerrilla fighter role. ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Firefly'' is armed with a [[LRM-5#Coventry_Five-Tube|Coventry Five-Tube]] [[LRM-5]] for long-range firepower and to attempt to keep enemies at a distance. If facing a determined enemy that is intent on closing, the ''Firefly'' carries three [[Medium_laser#Martell|Martell]] [[medium laser]]s, which can cause a considerable amount of damage. Finally, to protect against missile attacks, the ''Firefly'' carries a [[SureFire 444]] [[anti-missile system]] in the left arm, with a "false" AMS in the right arm.<ref>''Technical Readout: Succession Wars'', p. 20</ref> ==Variants== *; FFL-3A : First built in 2679, the standard [[Star League Defense Force]] model<ref name=HOPp165>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 165</ref> utilizes an [[XL engine]], [[double heat sink]]s, and [[ferro-fibrous]] armor to reduce weight. A battery of four [[small laser]]s, three [[medium laser]]s, and an [[LRM-5]] provide significant offensive capabilities for a recon 'Mech. [[TAG]] enhances its ability to spot for artillery, while [[CASE]] protects from ammunition explosion. BV (2.0) = 797<ref>''Record Sheets: Succession Wars'', p. 28</ref><ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4172/firefly-ffl-3a MUL online entry for the FFL-3A variant]</ref> *; FFL-3SLE : Built by the [[Star League in Exile]] at [[Strana Mechty MechWorks]], the 3SLE is almost identical to the original 3A, carrying three Martell [[medium laser]]s, four [[Martell (SL)|Martell]] [[small laser]]s, and a [[LRM-5#Coventry_Five-Tube|Coventry Five-Tube]] [[LRM-5]] for offensive firepower. The only difference is the replacement of the SLDF standard [[TAG]] with a [[Guardian ECM suite]]. BV (2.0) = 876<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike, p. 28</ref> *; FFL-3PP : A [[Pentagon Powers]] variant of the FFL-3SLE that removes the [[CASE]] and [[Guardian ECM suite]] in order to upgrade the missile rack to an [[LRM-10]]. BV (2.0) = 888<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike, p. 29</ref> *; FFL-3PP2 : Another refit of the FFL-3SLE, this time simply using [[standard armor]] plating instead of the advanced [[ferro-fibrous]] composites. BV (2.0) = 873<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike, p. 30</ref> *; FFL-3PP3 : Again lacking in [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, this variation on the -3SLE also removes the [[Guardian ECM suite]], instead upgrading the [[LRM-10]] rack with an [[Artemis IV]] fire-control system. BV (2.0) = 808<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike, p. 31</ref> *; FFL-4A : An early variant of the ''Firefly'', and one that accompanied the Dragoons to the Inner Sphere, the -4A carries a similar weapons payload to the -4B model, although it keeps the [[small laser]] battery of the -3A instead of the [[anti-missile system]]. BV (1.0) = 649, BV (2.0) = 831<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike, p. 32</ref> *;FFL-4C : A variant created by the [[Com Guards]], the 4C upgrades the 4B ''Firefly'' with an [[XL engine]] and [[endo steel]] structure. All three lasers are upgraded to [[medium pulse laser]]s, and an [[Artemis IV FCS]] is slaved to the missile launcher. To handle the increased heat, the heat sinks are upgraded to [[double heat sink]]s.<ref name=TRSWp20f /> BV (2.0) = 806<ref>''Master Unit List: Battle Values'', p. 94</ref> *; FFL-4D : A comparatively new variant that appeared with the Dragoons shortly before the fighting on [[Outreach]], the 4D saves weight through the use of a [[light engine]], [[endo steel]], and [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. Like the 4C, this variant adds an [[Artemis IV FCS]] to the [[LRM-5]], but also upgrades the lasers to [[ER medium laser]]s. Due to space constraints, the 4D uses 12 [[single heat sink]]s that are sorely taxed.<ref name=TRSWp20f /> BV (2.0) = 894<ref>''Master Unit List: Battle Values'', p. 95</ref> *; FFL-4DA : An electronic warfare variant of the FFL-4D model, the -4DA replaces the [[anti-missile system]] and its ammo with a [[Guardian ECM suite]].
