*; FLE-20 : A Capellan infantry support variant, the FLE-20 strips half a ton of armor to mount two [[ER medium laser]]s and a [[light PPC]]. The loss of armor is not seen as a risk, since it is replaced with [[stealth armor]], along with the required [[Guardian ECM suite]].<ref name="TRO3050U"/> BV (2.0) = 791<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrades Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 8</ref>

*; FLE-21 : Another Capellan variant, the FLE-21 mounts a 180-rated Light engine supplemented by a [[supercharger]], giving it a top speed of more then 140 km/h. While still having very little armor, it is also protected by a [[Guardian ECM Suite]]. Like its cousin, the FLE-20, the model 21 mounts stealth armor, and also shares the pair of [[ER Medium Laser]], along with an [[ER Flamer]] for work against infantry units. [[Wolf's Dragoons]] placed a large order for the 21 model, trying to see if they could also be used as a light 'Mech hunter. BV (2.0) = 823 <ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 26'', p. 12</ref>
