− The '''''Perseus''''' is the product of a program begun by the [[League Central Coordination and Command]] to create an [[OmniMech]] completely indigenous to the [[Free Worlds League]] from concept to production. The ''Perseus'' shares much with the venerable ''[[Orion]]'', a staple of the [[Free Worlds League Military]], both broadly resembling the older design visually and using a number of the same components. This similarity prompted more than a few FWLM technicians to nickname the new design the "Omni-''Orion''" and the deployment of ''Perseus'' has largely been to front-line units that fielded large concentrations of its progenitor, replacing older ''Orion''s on a one-for-one basis.<ref name=TRO3067p88f/><ref name=FMFWLp141>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', pp. 141-142 "Rules - P1 Perseus"</ref> + The '''''Perseus''''' is the product of a program begun by the [[League Central Coordination and Command]] to create an [[OmniMech]] completely indigenous to the [[Free Worlds League]] from concept to production.

While on paper the ''Perseus'' is a capable 'Mech with almost forty-tons of available pod space, the design has earned something of a lackluster reputation when compared to other modern OmniMechs such as the ''[[Templar]]'' or ''[[Hauptmann]]''. This is largely due to the small size of its weapon bays which limit the type of weaponry the ''Perseus'' can mount, only the arms can carry larger [[autocannon]]s and the hand and lower-arm [[actuator]]s must be removed to be able do so, with a number of configurations also forced to mount weaponry in the 'Mech's legs. More critically the small size of the bays hampers the volume of extra [[double heat sink]]s that can be carried, consequently most of the ''Perseus'''s configurations utilize ballistic and missile weaponry over more heat-intensive energy loadouts.<ref name=TRO3067p88f/><ref name=FMFWLp141/> While on paper the ''Perseus'' is a capable 'Mech with almost forty-tons of available pod space, the design has earned something of a lackluster reputation when compared to other modern OmniMechs such as the ''[[Templar]]'' or ''[[Hauptmann]]''.
