The WTF-42 Decoy was never intended for fighting 
enemy forces, but rather be a decoy, and gather as much 
fire as possible. The Laser Antimissle System keep the 
missles off it's back while the reflective armour dulls the 
impact from energy weapons. 

The "Sirius" Disco Mirror Balls scatter all light that hits 
them, so that it distracts 'Mechs around it enough to miss 
their targets.

Capabilites:
The Decoy is a fast scout, but cannot protect itself. 
Instead of fighting it's way out of situations, it runs evasive 
maneuvers until friendlies can help, or until the enemy 
loses intrest.

Deployment:
The few that are assigned to combat duty, are given to 
elite scouts who are often retired mentally. Most are 
deployed along the Capellan March in the Federated suns.
