The LS2/CSF-S3cB2/NU/LP01-012 Firestorm (also known as the Crimson Eclipse) is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Dead Legacy* Novel. It is piloted by Miia Deltavi.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Similar to the heavily armored and armed Fortress Vendetta, the Firestorm goes for a high-firepower tank build. It is equipped with a pair of shoulder mounted 300mm Enhanced HAMGs that fire AoE shells, capable of breaking through shields and base walls. It is also equipped with a pair of twin 100mm HAMGs, each mounted on the side shoulder armors. This is to allow ease of use with its main weapon. This weapon in question is a large handheld laser cannon known as the “Destroyer Gun,” developed from the GT-M-LC of the Blacklight and the C-MDG of the Dark Pegasus (the latter of which would only be used to enhance the design as it was found after the Battle of Midnight Base). The Firestorm would seldom use melee weapons, but in the need of one it used an Anti-Armor “Fiuerwraze” Heat Waraxe.

## Armaments

- 300mm Enhanced HPNCs: The Firestorm is equipped with a pair of shoulder mounted HPNCs, reinforced with Nanolaminate plates for healthier cooling when firing in succession.

- 100mm HAMGs: Being Kestrel’s first attempt at portable heavy weapons, the 100mm HAMG is a twin-barreled, alternating Cannon that contains a ten-round internal magazine. Being versatile in almost every range due to an advanced rifling barrel, it requires little skill to use the weapon and the payoff when using it is very rewarding. Its alternating fire means that the barrels remain cool when firing consistently, and extended magazines or belt feeds can prolong the amount of rounds it can fire. When not in use, some forms of the HAMG can fold horizontally between the two barrels, up onto the top of the receiver. This reduces the chance of a misfire when operating the other functions of the Garrisai.

- EC-07 Megaparticle Laser Cannon "Destroyer Gun": Built from the Blacklight's EC-07 "Cosmic Cannon," this turret-style laser cannon features a scattering lens within its barrel. When fired, the blast will spread into a high AoE series of lasers, which are each capable of melting through Nanolaminate Armor. Fitted with a bipod, it allows for the weapon to be fired from a fixed position. Due to its size, it must be dropped when not in use, or continue to be held in the unit's hands.

- Anti Armor "Fiuerwraze" Heat Waraxe: A modified version of the Waraxe used by Revolta Ground Types of the same name. Now featuring a heated edge similar to that of the Harbinger's Folding Heat Blade, the weapon is far more capable in piercing armor. It is mounted on the rear skirt armor when not in use, and is only effective in close-quarters situations.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Hi-Sensitivity Targeting Visor: This advanced version of the Assistive Targeting System has been equipped with not only a standard targeting interface, but also an additional long-range targeting interface. Unlike its standard counterpart, the long-range comes in the form of a slide-down visor that shifts over the eyes. This almost doubles the range at which the system can track targets. It is primarily used by sniper units, though it has also been known to have been used by artillery support units as well as scouts. The Firestorm's version was taken from the Blacklight.

- HMT Compensating Thrusters: A modified HMT Thruster Kit designed to provide enough thrust to stay mobile while carrying the Firestorm's heavy weapons.

- MASTERSTRIKE System: An upgraded version of the LANDSTRIKE, equipped to control far heavier weapons and thicker armor than the original. Compared to the LSS, the MSS has been constructed exclusively for the Harbinger. In the case of the Firestorm, its base armor was modified to resemble the Harbinger's, as to be capable of using this system. When needed, the entire system can be purged.

- Long Distance External Fuel Canisters: For traversing over large areas of land without stopping, the Firestorm can equip several External Fuel Canisters filled with Dechalus. These can be purged when fully depleted.

## History

After the Vendetta and its Pilot were captured by the LCR, it was stripped of all its foreign armor and weaponry. With the data collected from the laser technology it used, the LCR was able to begin development of laser weapons. As for the Vendetta itself, the overhauled frame the AECMU gave it was incredibly agile, and energy conservation was very advanced compared to its original design. Since Miia was cautiously admitted into the LCR after being persuaded, she was allowed to reuse her personal Garrisai. Since it had suffered a lot of damage previously, it was fitted with a spare LANDSTRIKE System intended for the Harbinger, and High-Output Compensating Thrusters. It was also given weapons inspired by its original guns, since most of the old ones were destroyed by the Harbinger. In the end, it was dubbed the Firestorm from its fiery red color scheme.

## Trivia

- After shedding its LSS, the Firestorm is known as the Phoenix.

- The Firestorm pays homage to the original design of the Classic Cyclops from the early stages of Harbinger 2584, which was also piloted by Miia's character (who was Luna at the time, hence the homage).

- Castel Type: Land Unit (Neutral Assault) (Crimson Eclipse) aka. LUNA

- The Destroyer Gun’s barrel was retrofitted from the Core-Mounted Destroyer Gun on the Dark Pegasus’ equipment in the Silent Citadel.
