From the supplimental file on the Wars of Reaving. Star Captain Robin Maine Reporting
Overview
The Society had originally wished to build four new Omnimechs for thier military arm, one of each class. enough documentation has been provided on the Electronic Warfare oriented Cephalus, General Combat Septicemia, and Heavy Support Osteon, as those three Battlemechs made it to mainline production. The little known fourth Omnimech was ultimately never built by the society as it was deemed redundant compared to the impressive Septicemia.
Capabilities
The design pitch for the Woodsman II was to create a Battlemech that was easy to build and could provide a little more durability and offensive might for more elite mechwarriors co-opted by the Society. the Woodsman II's frame was barely changed from the original, but a 300XL engine had to be used to make up for the relative scarcity of Vlar 300s available (only the Orion IIC used such an engine). to make up for the fragility of the engine, an additional ton of armor protection was installed and a super charger replaced the MASC circuitry so that MechWarriors could return from the battlefield more easily.
Deployment
The Woodsman II never made it into production, and the handful of prototypes (essentially refurbished Woodsmen) were turned over to the short lived Clan Burrock. from information gleamed in the aftermath of Etienne's revolt, it was believed that the Woodsman II would have matched the production level of the Osteon (1 Trey for every sept of Septicemia)
