Overview:
    The Sprite project was started in reaction to recovered plans of a Jade Falcon Roadrunner
    RD-1R.  The designers at Mopar laboratories saw the potential of the RD-1R's incredible
    speed.  With the thought of the clans using a mech with a top speed of 243 kph executives
    decided to build a speed machine that could potentially compete with it.
    
    The R&D dept at Mopar started with a modified Locust chassis and put in an XL
    engine that was able to cut weight and still be able to get a good speed out of it.  By
    adding the MASC they were able to get bursts of speed that were even faster than the top
    speed of the Roadrunner.  A total of 3 Sprites were made.  After several successful normal
    test of the new mech they decided to kick in the MASC.  When the pilot hit the accelerator
    the mech rocketed forward faster than expected.  When the pilot tryed to get the Sprite
    under control the suspension circuits in the legs burned out causing the mech to skid
    uncontrolably out of control.  Unfortunately the Sprite had covered enough territory that
    the mech was too close to the mountains around the test site and both the mech and pilot
    were lost.

Deployment:
    None are currently in the field.  Of the 2 surviving test models, one was stipped of all
    armaments and the XL engine was removed and put in another project, the shell was put on
    display in front of the R & D building as a reminder of its incredible speed and a
    memorial to the test pilot who lost his life.  The other remaining model is still in service
    using a remotly piloted drone in order to further test the suspension settings at high
    speed.
