While the [[Clans]] developed the OmniMech in 2854, due to the Clans' bias toward [[BattleMech]] supremacy it was not until the [[2990]]s that [[Clan Hell's Horses]] adapted OmniPod technology to a combat vehicle in the form of the [[Epona]] Pursuit Vehicle. It remained the first and only Clan OmniVehicle until 3064 with the introduction of the [[Hephaestus (Combat Vehicle)|Hephaestus]]. The first OmniVehicles produced in the [[Inner Sphere]] were the [[Badger (Combat Vehicle)|Badger]] tracked and [[Bandit]] hover transports, derived from the Epona and fielded by [[Wolf's Dragoons]] in [[3008]], though the Dragoons' efforts to hide their advanced technology prevented observers from realizing the existence of the technology advance. The first [[Successor State]] produced OmniVehicle was the [[Schiltron]], with the [[Draconis Combine]] leveraging their efforts to reverse engineer the OmniMech into OmniPod equipped vehicles.

Combat vehicles see continued use on the modern battlefield due to reasons for availability and lower cost, compared to their more famed BattleMech counterparts. In this regard, OmniVehicles suffer a double blow, primarily using more expensive [[fusion engine]]s and the advanced pod technology, driving up production costs which are only partly offset by their greatly expanded flexibility in combat ability. Due to the reverse engineering of Clan OmniPod technology, Inner Sphere OmniVehicles use the same modular connection points and can mount Clan weapon and equipment pods just as easily as IS components.
