The 35-ton Raider is the lightest and fastest of the Project Warrior OmniMechs.  Using a 280-rate standard fusion engine, it is capable of achieving a walking speed of 86.4 kilometers per hour and a running speed of 129.6 kph.  A one-ton MASC system is installed as fixed equipment allowing for a limited sprint speed of 172.8 kph.  Six tons of ferro-fibrous armor plating provides good protection (over 96% maximum coverage), while 10 double-strength heat sinks are banked within the engine core. 

This leaves 4.0 tons of pod-space available.

Design Notes:  The Spider and Ostscout will be covered under the 40-ton Hunter OmniMech.  More to come.

Very nice!

You took your original concept and expanded on it.

In 3020, Clan Diamond Shark began a manufacturing program known as Project Warrior.  The intention of Project Warrior was to develop a series of low-cost OmniMechs for those Clans who simply could not afford large numbers of front-line Clan war-machines.  A secondary objective was to provide the Clans (either individually or as a whole) with units that could--for the most part--act as a faux-Inner Sphere Opposition Force for training against the possibility of a future invasion.

Based upon the reports of Wolf's Dragoons, the Clan Warriors and Scientists decided to produce a total of five base chassis, each of a different weight and speed.  While the designs would utilize Clan weaponry, along with Endo-Steel internal structure and Ferro-Fibrous armor plating, they would also feature standard fusion engines, thus reducing costs by a considerable margin.

These OmniMechs--the 35-ton Raider, the 40-ton Hunter, the 45-ton Trooper, the 55-ton Warrior, and the 70-ton Aggressor--would provide a solid basis for any Clan's Garrison forces while simultaneously allowing their use to mimic Inner Sphere BattleMechs for training purposes.

While detractors cited that their use in this secondary role would not be realistic, due to the different ranges and damages of Clan weapon systems--many, including the Khans of Clan Star Adder, welcomed the introduction of these new OmniMechs with relish.

Clans Blood Spirit, Burrock, Cloud Cobra, Coyote, Diamond Shark, Fire Mandrill, Ghost Bear, Goliath Scorpion, Hell's Horses, Ice Hellion, Nova Cat, Snow Raven, Star Adder, and Wolf all decided to obtain examples for use in their own garrison forces and/or to serve as an Opposition Force for training, though the numbers acquired varied from Clan to Clan (with Blood Spirit and Star Adder purchasing the most, Goliath Scorpion and Wolf the least).  Only Clans Jade Falcon, Smoke Jaguar, and Steel Viper refused to use these "Inner Sphere-based mockeries of a true OmniMech" within their own Toumans.

Following the start of the Jihad and the Wars of Reaving, when the Diamond Sharks moved to the Inner Sphere, they made these design available to Inner Sphere powers as well for use in fighting against the Word of Blake.  While some of the Council of Seven protested this move, to date the Sharks continue to provide a limited number of these OmniMechs for select customers throughout the Inner Sphere and near Periphery.

Been thinking about this some more and it could tie in with some other musings we've had to create an Invasion Prequel. If you recall our conversations on the development of Clan OmniMechs in the early thirty first century the battle for Clans between Wardens and Crusaders is reaching its peak. The Wolves and Coyotes are the leading Wardens (sworn defenders of the InnerSphere) whose power in the Grand Council has been waning over time thanks to the rise of Crusaders (would be conquerors of the InnerSphere) led by Jade Falcon, Smoke Jaguar, and Star Adder. Will other minor Clans (Goliath Scorpion were Wardens while Blood Spirit, Burrock, and Ice Hellion were Crusaders) joined them most others (Cloud Cobra, Diamond Shark, Fire Mandrill, Ghost Bear, Hell's Horses, Nova Cat, Snow Raven, Steel Viper) were split on which camp to join. Efforts to pass a go vote for the invasion of the InnerSphere were delayed in the year 3000 by the Dragoon Compromise but the battle for ideals remained. [NOTE: We could also include other measures such as establishing forward operating bases to facilitate homeworld security aka the invasion - your Chainelane Isles concept]

Your Warrior OmniMech series here is another step in Mech development (both canon and otherwise) which we spoke of but could give rise to something much more. Love the Diamond Sharks attempt to commercialize Dragoon intel which is spot on and I think the Star Adders would love the idea to outfit their OpFor. Could I see the Jade Falcons and Smoke Jaguars asserting publicly in the Grand Council that the new series is unworthy of true Clansman, absolutely, and they will not use it. These Idealists among the Crusaders could even go so far as to call it wasteful but here is where I kick it up a notch.

An aging Khan Kerlin Ward challenges these haughty Crusaders to prove it! What better way to demonstrate the worthiness of their cause then by defeating Wardens defending the InnerSphere in inferior OmniMechs in a series of Trials? The obstacles for such an operation (Revival) are innumerable and shouldn't these Crusaders prove themselves in battle before plunging the Clans into a war they might not be able to win? This galvanizes Warden support and Crusader antagonism setting up an epic clash for the soul of the Clans.

And thus would begin the Trials of Merit, Warden vs Crusader homeworld conflict. Hearts versus Minds.

What do you think?

Trials of Merit – Clan Breakdown

Blood Spirit (Crusaders)
   The isolationist Spirits while a poorer Clan have just concluded their secret Warships for ‘Mechs deal with the Snow Raven giving them reasons to discount the Warrior series in their own Touman. While a few individuals in this Clan may espouse Warden ideals they are solidly a Crusader Clan at this time. I think as a whole they would wish to prove themselves worthy of invading the InnerSphere while a few warriors maybe Harvested for the Warden cause. Not sure who their Khans would be at this time as I really can’t find any canon citations quickly.

Burrock (Crusaders)
   One thing that everyone knows about the secretive Burrocks is their Crusader ideals even though their resource poor situation is not. So, the acceptance of the Warrior series within their ranks might be frowned on despite the genuine need for new gear. However, they are regarded as opportunistic so could this be the one case of Crsuaders utilizing the Warrior series? They would certainly want to prove themselves worthy of invading the InnerSphere and would have few Wardens serving in their Touman. [NOTE: A lot more underneath the surface here regarding the Dark Caste and the Tanite Worlds which I will touch on in the next Clan.] Not sure who their Khans would be at this time as I really can’t find any canon citations quickly.

Cloud Cobra (split)
   The religious Clan is resource poor and an excellent candidate for the Warrior series at this time with many Wardens yearning to defend the InnerSphere. However, there are just as many Crusaders in this Clan with both sides driven righteously forward by their Cloisters. Vying both for and against the invasion the Cobras are perhaps the host candidate for the Trials of Merit. Overextended for years by the occupation of the Tanite Worlds could this setting be the ideal place to fight the Trials for and against Invasion? Tova N’Buta could be their Khan at this time per Khan and since it is a Star Adder bloodname could denote Crusader leadership at this time.

Coyote (Warden)
   More idealistic than their Wolf brethren the Coyotes are the most resolute Warden Clan in existence especially after the Blood Scandal. While I see a reluctance to utilize the inferior Warrior series here it could also be an opportunity to rebuild their shrunken Touman. Perhaps the hidebound Coyotes under these circumstances could outfit their Freeborns with these lesser OmniMechs to defend their holdings which seem to be under constant attack by the Crusaders. However, there maybe a natural ‘Trueborn’ resistance to such a move as I believe they are a Clan that does not traditionally allow Freeborns to serve in their Touman. I do believe that the Clan would wish to defend the InnerSphere from the Crusaders and would stand with Wolf in this venture despite some skeptics. Terrence Kufahl maybe an aging Khan at this time with a young Robin Steele serving as his saKhan according or rather inferring from canon sources.

Diamond Shark (split)
   Would be loving this development and could stand to make a fortune from their Warrior series which could also lead to bigger markets in the InnerSphere. Growing Crusader sentiment due to the potential boon of opening relations is undercut by natural Warden tendencies to defend the status quo. I certainly think that the Clan would utilize their own products and foster their use among the other Clans. For this reason, I’d see them wholeheartedly backing the Trials of Merit proposed here. Not sure who’d their Khan would be at this time.

Fire Mandrill (split)
   Always divided in the warring Crusader and Warden Kindraa this relatively poor Clan would certainly utilize the Warden series in their Touman. While the Crusader Kindraa Sainze, Mattila-Carrol, and Mick-Kreese are the most likely to eschew these inferior war machines the Warden Kindraa Payne and Beyl-Grant are most likely to embrace them. I would also say that Kindraa Faraday-Tanaga and Kline would also use them just out of need rather than any idealistic trend. In any case there would likely be Trials of Merit within the Clan as well as outside of it to determine the worthiness of invasion. Leadership fluctuates wildly in this Clan so your guess is as good as mine to exactly whom is running the show here.

Ghost Bear (split)
   Growing Crusaders whose weight nearly swung the balance at the turn of the millenia if not for the Dragoon Compromise. Most in the Bear family are likely out to prove their metal against the Warrior series but there could be a few who embrace its use here. Never one to rush into to any decision they may indeed welcome the Trials of Merit and the opportunity to test designs in battle against fellow Clansmen. They could still be led by either a very old Nadia Winson or Nornian Tseng and Ursula Jorgensson.

Goliath Scorpion (Warden)
   Always trying to seek out the past this Clan is majority Warden but is home to a few Crusaders as well. Resource strapped they would likely be one of the best consumers of the Warrior series and anxious to defend the InnerSphere from Crusader aggression. However, there are always a few tomb raiders who want to push their luck in forbidden places so challenges would take place inside and outside the Scorpions. Their leadership could be composed of a very young Nikolai Djerassi or Ren Posavatz at this time.

Hell’s Horses (split)
   Perhaps this devastated Clan of mostly Wardens would be the Sharks best consumers of the Warrior series. Forever changed by their loss of Tokasha nearly one hundred years ago the Horses have been a poor Clan ever since and a new inexpensive OmniMech would be a welcomed boon to them. While a rising tide of Crusaders is yearning to earn their way in the Trials more Horsemen would be out to defend the InnerSphere in the Warrior series at this time. A young Lair Seidman could well be either the saKhan or Khan of this Clan at this time from canon inferences.

Ice Hellion (Crusader)
   The Warrior series is too slow for the Ice Hellion Clan who soon pronounce it inefficient for modern combat operations. In spite of their strapped resource situation and the confidential rebuilding that they are undertaking thanks to the Secret Trial they’d still wish to prove themselves in battle versus the Wardens with little thought as to the consequences. An aging Ernest Wick and a young Stephen Tyler would be an interesting pair to led this Clan trying to rebuild covertly while at the same time attempting to placate its Crusaders on the other.

Jade Falcon (Crsuader)
   The ever-haughty Jade Falcon Clan has always been among the most vocal Crusaders in the Homeworlds. There natural tendency to bad mouth the Warrior series as inferior and a waste of resources fits well. Being challenged to prove their worth would enrage the Falcons and they would waste little time in accepting the Trials of Merit. Led by Khan Yvonne Hazen and saKhan Sejanus Buhallin (who interestingly enough valued the Wolf Dragoon reports) are also backed by a rising Star Colonel Elias Crichell newly installed commander of Turkina Keshik.

Nova Cat (split)
   Driven by visions the Nova Cats gradually grew to become more and more Crusaders at this time. Their political growth mirrors Ghost Bears evolution with both becoming pro-invasion in their thinking but also wanting to take their time somewhat. I think they would welcome the call for Trials of Merit with some warriors fighting on both sides in these campaigns. So, while some Warrior series OmniMechs would be present in their Touman I doubt there would be many. There also seems to be a canon disagreement as to leadership circa 3020 as either Abram Radick or Severen Leroux and Lucian Carns are.

Snow Raven (split)
Despite being a commercial rival with the Diamond Sharks this scavenging Clan could use the Warrior series to bolster their Touman after the Blood Spirit Warships for Mechs deal. It could be part of their continuing surkai for their involvement in the Sea Fox extinction that they back the Warrior in the Grand Council. The split between the majority Wardens and minority Crusaders would likely rear its head in several internal Trials of Merit. Ever the political strategists I don’t see them as committing too many resources for or against the invasion. After all their naval superiority will be welcomed by either side trying to push their agenda. Unsure of whom their leaders could be at this time but it is possible Weston Cooper is Khan.

Smoke Jaguar (Crusader)
   Let the Wardens waste their resources on these inferior machines while we smash our way to glory is something I think current Khan Kincaid Furey would say here. Doubtlessly agreeing with their Jade Falcon brethren, they are eager to begin the Trials of Merit so that the invasion can proceed as soon as possible.

Star Adder (Crusader)
   More pragmatic Crusaders than the Jade Falcons and the Smoke Jaguars I certainly think the Star Adder Clan would back the use of the Warrior series especially for its Kappa Provisional Galaxy (InnerSphere OpFor). Furthermore they may see through the Wolves ruse but realize that the Crusade maybe better off after the Trials of Merit whittle away the more foolish Crusaders from their cause.

Steel Viper (split)
   Here I disagree with masterarminas most strongly about this Clan not using the Warrior series because I think they would. There would I’ll grant you be some natural resistance akin to the Coyotes that this Trueborn only club might disapprove of but the Mercer Doctrine calls for a unique cooperation with the InnerSphere. While this bipolar Clan is deeply split between Crusader and Warden camps this is something I don’t think was adequately explored in canon and should be here. Plus, this Clan use many standard Engine OmniMechs like the Battle Cobra and Crossbow despite its relative wealth in the Homeworlds. Trials of Merit here could be more internalized however given this Clan’s isolationist manner.

Wolf (Warden)
Led by the ever-cunning Khan Kerlin Ward I see the Wolves as the primary drivers of the Trials of Merit and being excellent consumers of the Warrior series. Piloted by either Freeborns or volunteer Trueborns much like the Wolf Dragoons these defenders of the InnerSphere will test any all-Crusader challengers for their worthiness. Of course, I’d expect that these Wardens will not only use their skill every other advantage to emerge victorious once again.

The Chameleon configuration is outfitted with six jump jets for a jump capability of 180 meters.  Twelve DHS are fitted as well.  Armament consists of an ER Large Laser (right arm), two ER Medium Lasers (left arm and center torso), two ER Small Lasers (right torso and left torso), and two AP Gauss Rifles (right torso and left torso, fed by one ton of ammunition in the center torso).  This configuration tends to overheat, but is primarily used as a training OmniMech to teach new Warriors to manage their heat scale.

The Clint Configuration is also equipped with six jump jets.  It is armed with an LB-5X Autocannon (right arm, fed by two tons of ammunition for 40 bursts of fire) and two ER Medium Lasers (left arm and head).  Cool-running, many Warriors feel that it is underarmed, but it serves the Clans as a fast-moving air-defense/anti-vehicle platform that simply cannot overheat.

The Exterminator configuration mounts six jump jets.  Unlike the SLDF version, it does not mount the stealth systems which made this design famous, as those systems have been deemed as dishonorable in nature by the leadership of the Clans.  Armament consists of an LRM-15 long-range missile launcher (left torso, fed by two tons of ammunition for 16 missile salvos), four ER Small Lasers (two each right arm and left arm), an Anti-Missle System (right torso, fed by a ton of ammuntion for 24 defensive bursts), and a head-mounted ECM Suite. This configuration is heat-neutral on a jumping Alpha Strike, despite carrying only the base 10 DHS.

Configuration Firestarter mounts six jump jets and has a total of 12 DHS installed.  Even so, it mounts enough weaponry to overwhelm the cooling system, although the excess overheat production is not all that severe when compared to many Clan BattleMechs and OmniMechs.  Armament consists of two Medium Pulse Lasers (right arm and left arm), a Small Pulse Laser (head), four Flamers (center torso, right arm, left arm, and rear-mounted in the center torso), and two AP Gauss Rifles (right torso and left torso, fed by a ton of ammunition in the right torso for 40 bursts of fire).  This configuration sees use mainly as an anti-infantry/anti-Elemental unit.

The 55-ton Warrior (with its 9.5 tons of FF armor and 275 SFE engine, giving a movement rate of 5/8/x) you have already seen.  I won't be reprinting it (and the thirty-six (36!!) configurations) here; at least not today!

The fifth and final OmniMech of the Warrior series is the 70-ton Aggressor.  This unit utiizes a 280 standard fusion engine, giving a walking speed of 43.2 kilometers per hour and a running speed of 64.8 kph.  11.0 tons of ferro-fibrous armor plating gives near maximum armor protection.  And it allows for a massive pod-space of 33.5 tons!  This massive pod-space gave the Diamond Sharks the opportunity to duplicate several of the most powerful and iconic Inner Sphere Assault-weight BattleMechs on a lighter, faster-moving chassis.

The Atlas configuration seeks to replicate the armament package of that premier assault-weight BattleMech on a lighter, faster chassis.  And it succeeds in doing so . . . in fact, it is capable of dealing even more damage--at greater ranges--than the SLDF version.  Of course, it does not carry the same amount of armor, but is a great deal more cost-effective.

Armament consists of an LB-20X Autocannon (right torso, fed by three tons of ammunition (2 in the left torso and 1 in the right torso) for 15 bursts of fire), an LRM-20 long-range missile launcher with Artemis IV FCS (left torso, with two tons of ammunition for 12 missile salvos), a Streak SRM-6 short-range missile launcher (left arm, with one ton of ammunition for 15 missile salvos), three ER Medium Lasers (head, right arm, and rear-mounted center torso), and an ER Small Laser (rear-mounted center torso).

Despite this impressive list of weaponry, the Atlas configuration is almost heat-neutral, mounting 13 DHS that is capable of dissipating all but movement heat on a forward-firing Alpha Strike with the Streak pack locking on target.

The Crockett configuration is outfitted with four jump jets for a maximum jump distance of 120 meters.  Armament consists of two ER Large Lasers (right arm and left arm), an ER Small Laser (head), two SRM-6 short-range missile launchers (right torso and left torso, fed by two tons of ammunition for 15 tandem missile salvos), and a LB-10X Autocannon (right torso, fed by two tons of ammunition for 20 bursts of fire).

Fourteen DHS is not enough to deal with the heat generated by these weapons; however, at close range where the SRM-6s and ER Small Laser come to bear, taking one ER Large Laser out of the firing circuit results in the OmniMech being heat-neutral even when jumping.

The Highlander configurationo also carries four jump jets.  Eleven DHS are mounted, but this time this is sufficient to render the OmniMech heat-neutral on a jumping Alpha Strike with the forward firing weaponry!

The armament package consists of a Gauss Rifle (right arm, fed by two tons of ammunition for 16 shots), an LRM-20 long-range missile launcher with Artemis IV FCS (left torso, fed by two tons of ammunition for 12 missile salvos), a Streak SRM-6 short-range missile launcher (left arm, fed by one ton of ammunition for 15 missile salvos), two ER Medium Lasers (left arm and rear-mounted right torso), and an ER Small Laser (head).

The Shogun configuration adds four jump jets to the base chassis.  Weaponry consists of a Large Pulse Laser (right torso), two LRM-15 long-range missile launchers with Artemis IV FCS (right arm and left arm, fed by four tons of ammunition for 16 tandem missile salvos), two Streak SRM-6 short-range missile launchers (right torso and left torso, fed by two tons of ammunition for a total of 30 missile salvos), and an ER Small Laser (rear-mounted center torso).

Twelve DHS are also mounted, but the Shogun configuration has a pronounced tendency to overheat even so.  Warriors assigned to this configuration must watch their heat gauges carefully.

The Stalker configuration can deliver a truly massive amount of firepower at a target down-range. Armament consists of an ER Large Laser (center torso), two LRM-10 long-range missile launchers with Artemis IV FCS (right arm and left arm, fed by four tons of ammunition for 24 tandem missile salvos), two Streak SRM-6 short-range missile launchers (right torso and left torso, fed by one ton of ammunition in the center torso for 15 missile salvos), and five ER Small Lasers (right arm, left arm, 2 left torso, and head).

One would expect that excess heat overproduction would be extreme, but 19 DHS provides sufficient cooling that only movement heat is generated as excess.  Not only can this configuration project heavy firepower (within its weapons range), it can also maintain its rate of fire for quite some time (well, as long as the ammunition last, at least!).

Finally, there is the Striker configuration.  Mounting 19 DHS, this configuration is heat neutral on a running Alpha Strike, with the UAC-10 in single shot mode.  A double-tap Alpha Strike will generate a small amount of excess overheat.  Weaponry consists of an ER PPC (left torso), an ER Large Laser (right arm), an Ultra AC-10 Autocannon (right torso, fed by two tons of ammunition for 20 single bursts or 10 double-taps), a Medium Pulse Laser (left arm), and an ER Small Laser (head).
