For comparison . . .
IS Std BA is 3/5 on DC, 3/5/7 on CC, 7 on FWL, 4 on LC, 5/12 on merc and 7 on Republic
GDL Scout is 5 on LC, 7 on Merc, not on DC, CC, FWL or Republic
Rabid is 17 on DC, 21 on Republic and not on others
Since there is not a IS General RAT its hard IMO to say what that component would be for the MUL. I am not saying they are widely available, but the MUL has the Fire Moth available to the FS or IS General for that period as well.
