Light Ferro-Fibrous Armor

Light Ferro-Fibrous armor was developed by the Inner Sphere for use on BattleMechs and combat vehicles. It was first put into production in 3067. In their attempt to mimic Clan Ferro-Fibrous armor, Free Worlds League scientists were able to reduce the amount of space that Light Ferro-Fibrous takes up to match that of the Clans, but the cost was reduced protection.

In game terms, Light Ferro-Fibrous takes up seven critical slots in a BattleMech or one slot in a combat vehicle. The amount of armor points is increased by six percent when compared to standard armor.

Naming paradox
Ironically, Light Ferro-Fibrous armor is more heavy (yet also more compact) per protective unit than Ferro-Fibrous and heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor. This is because it is more dense. The light in the name is deceiving, as it refers to less space used (bulk) and not lesser weight.
