Description
The Owens is intended to be an OmniMech upgrade of the Jenner BattleMech. The intended role for the Owens is as a cavalry 'Mech that can move along the enemy lines and designate targets for bombardment with Arrow IV artillery attacks. The Owens is a strong spotting unit for artillery and Semi-Guided LRMs as well as a point 'Mech for C3 lances with its permanently mounted TAG laser designator and C3 Slave unit. The Owens is also outfitted with a permanently mounted Beagle Active Probe that allows the 'Mech to detect hidden enemy units. The Owens has a top speed of 129.6 km/h and is protected with seven tons of armor. The 'Mech's unique mix of speed, armor, and electronic warfare equipment make the Owens a valuable asset in urban and dense woods or jungle environments where it can find an enemy unit that is hidden, designate them for an artillery strike, and then leave the area at high speeds.
Armament
The primary configuration of the Owens is meant to stay at stand-off ranges when possible using its two LRM-5 launchers. If forced into close range combat the Owens can bring its Medium Laser and two Small Lasers to bear.
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config. A - The A configuration is intended to close with an enemy for combat where it can take best advantage of its TAG and C3 Slave. The 'Mech is armed with two Streak SRM-2 launchers, two Machine Guns and a Small Pulse Laser. BV (1.0) = 551
- Alt. Config. B - Also armed for short-range combat, the B configuration has a SRM-4 launcher as its primary weapon. This is linked to an Artemis IV Fire Control System for greater missile accuracy. The SRM-4 is backed up by four Small Lasers. BV (1.0) = 629
- Alt. Config. C - Intended to be used in long term campaigns where supply lines may be strained the Owens C carries an arsenal consisting purely of energy weapons. Carrying a Large Laser for long range combat, the Owens C can bring its two Medium Lasers to bear once it has closed with an enemy. BV (1.0) = 729
- Alt. Config. D - The D configuration is built to further the electronic warfare capabilities of the Owens. The 'Mech carries in this configuration a Narc Missile Beacon to mark enemy units for massed missile fire from allied units and carries a single SRM-4 launcher for defense. BV (1.0) = 526
- Alt. Config. E - The E configuration is a medium range combat configuration with a MRM-10 launcher as its primary weapon. The MRM-10 is backed up by one Medium Laser and one Medium Pulse Laser. BV (1.0) = 654
