Overview:
After being purchased by the Kell Hounds, this Arctic Wolf Omnimech was issued to Lieutenant
Thomas Wingate of The Scrapping Pack, Wolfhounds Battalion, First Company, to replace his
destroyed Raven RVN-3L after he distinguished himself in a battle against Clan Jade Falcon
at A Place. He decided to configure it such that he could use it as a dual-purpose scout
and striker, replicating all electronic warfare capabilities of his Raven save for the NARC,
adding jump jets, and carrying an array of SRM tubes. He named this configuration the
"Northern Raven" in a nod to both the parent mech design and the inspiration for its
capabilities.
Capabilities:
At ~90 km/h ground speed, it replicates the mobility profile of the Raven and is able to
slightly outrun most Clan heavies, but needs to be employed carefully against them. To
compensate, it mounts six podded Devil A7 Jump Jets from Coventry Metal Works, three in each
side torso, for extra mobility in rough terrain. A captured Jade Falcon Omnipod mounted
Electronic Warfare Suite is mounted in the Right Torso, and an Active Probe of similar
origin is in the Left Torso, also pod mounted. Additionally, the Left Torso mounts a podded
CherrySeed "Maraschino" C3 Slave Unit, to further its intended role as a forward observer.
For self defense, each arm pistol mounts a Kolibri Series Omega Medium Pulse Laser,
manufactured at WC Site 1 by Clan Wolf-in-Exile, with the Right Arm also mounting a captured
Clan spec TAG manufactured by the Jade Falcons. Rounding out the loadout are four Clan
Diamond Shark spec SRM-6 tubes manufactured under license by the Wolves-in-Exile. Two of the
launchers reside in each side torso with all of them sharing two tons of ammo, one in each
side torso. The ammunition loading is varied from mission to mission, with Inferno SRMs
favored for their utility for both Mech suppression and anti-personnel applications,
particularly when engaging Blakist forces.
Deployment:
The Arctic Wolf Configuration "Northern Raven" is configured to scout ahead of the main
force, spot for BattleMechs and vehicles with long range fire capabilities of both the
direct and indirect variety, and to exploit the damage dealt by the support assets to land a
killing blow. While the jump jets compromise stealth during the night engagements favored
by The Scrapping Pack, the mobility they offer after being discovered makes them worthwhile.
The ECM suite plays a quadruple purpose in this context, as it provides concealment from
enemy sensors, protection from enemy missile weapons, providing counter-jam capabilities for
its Active Probe, and maintaining its C3 connection inside of enemy ECM bubbles. The medium
pulse lasers provide endurance and an ability to punch through armor weakened by fire
support while the SRMs can be used for either utility or to inflict crippling damage on the
internals of an enemy Mech.
Variants:
As it is a custom configuration of an OmniMech, no variants exist.
