−	==Description==
−	Exemplifying the [[OmniMech]] concept, the flexible '''''Huntsman''''' was the premier medium 'Mech of [[Clan Nova Cat]] during [[Operation REVIVAL]].<ref name=TRO:3058>''Technical Readout: 3058'', pp. 170–171: "Nobori-nin"</ref><ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref name=IC-126>''Invading Clans'', pp. 126–127: "Clan Nova Cat - Nobori-nin"</ref>
−	The totemic<ref name="rg12p12">''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 12'', p. 12</ref> design for the ''Huntsman'' was initially developed by [[Clan Diamond Shark]], but as part of the rivalry between the [[Merchant Caste]]s of [[Clan Nova Cat]] and Clan Diamond Shark, the rights to this promising new [[OmniMech]] were [[Trials|Trialed]] for and won by the Nova Cats.<ref name="rg12p12">''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 12'', p. 12</ref>
−	The design, also favored by [[Oathmaster]] [[Biccon Winters]], was contracted out by [[Khan]] [[Severen Leroux]] for further development and manufacture to [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] and their [[Brim Ironworks]] facility, in order to save resources. The Cloud Cobras, who were enamored with the new OmniMech, fast-tracked its manufacture in time for the invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name="HLB">[[The Huntsman Lore and Blueprint]]</ref>	+	==Description==
−		+	The '''''Huntsman''''' was first seen by [[Inner Sphere]] forces during the [[Battle of Luthien]]. A [[DCMS]] officer designated it the "'''''Nobori-nin'''''" (banner-bearer) after the fin-like object that rises from its back. No expense has been spared in the construction of this front-line [[OmniMech]] that uses an [[Fusion Engine - XL|Extra-Light Engine]], [[Endo Steel]] structure, and nine tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor. Five [[jump jet]]s enable it to leap up to 150 meters at a time.
−	First seen within the [[119th Striker (Clan Nova Cat)|119th Nova Cat Striker]] [[Cluster]] during the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Battle of Luthien]], a [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] intelligence officer [[Inner Sphere Designation for Clan BattleMechs|code-named]] the OmniMech "'''''Nobori-nin'''''" due to the single fin-like projection rising from the back of the 'Mech reminding him of the banner ''samurai'' wore on their backs in feudal Japan. Prized for its flexibility across a wide range of opponents and battlefield conditions, the ''Huntsman'' was almost exclusively a Nova Cat design during the initial Clan Invasion, but prior to the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] had entered service with [[Clan Diamond Shark|Clans Diamond Shark]], [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Cloud Cobra]], and [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adder]].<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref name=IC-126/>

−	No expense has been spared in the construction of this front-line OmniMech that uses a 250-rated [[extralight fusion engine]], [[endo steel]] structure, and nine tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. Five [[jump jet]]s enable it to leap up to 150 meters at a time.<ref name=TRO:3058/><ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref name=IC-126/>
−	The Primary configuration of the ''Huntsman'' sports a myriad of weapons. An [[UAC/2]] and [[Artemis IV]]-linked [[LRM-10]] provide long-range capability, while four [[ER medium laser]]s and a [[Streak SRM-6]] make it a vicious close range 'Mech. A pair of [[anti-personnel pod]]s and a [[flamer]] protected it from conventional [[infantry]], and an [[anti-missile system]] provided it with some defense against incoming missiles. An [[active probe]] found hidden units, and a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] spotting laser could designate targets for homing artillery strikes.<ref name=TRO:3058/><ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref name=IC-126/>	+	==Armament==
