==Description==
The '''''Tenshi''''', ("Angel" in japanese), is an Assault Class [[OmniMech]], which was manufactured during the early [[thirty-second century]] for the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery|Draconis Combine's armed forces]]. A product of House Kurita's hidden efforts to rebuild its decimated 'Mech regiments, the ''Tenshi'' was designed to use resources found within the Combine. 

The ''Tenshi'' was first deployed among the ranks of the [[Ghost Regiments]] in the early 3100s, its deployment with a less-renowned [[brigade]] was part of the DCMS' twofold effort of testing the 'Mech while also providing a fire-wall to save face should the design prove to be a failure in combat. One of its first deployments was in [[3103]], when the [[1st Ghost]] conducted a raid on the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]] world of [[Grumium]]. The eight ''Tenshi''s among the Ghosts' ranks performed well, with most of their numbers returning to the Combine with stolen Clan technology.<ref name=TRO3145DC/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Among the ''Tenshi'''s design features is its durability and having a heavy equipment payload. The designers saw fit to equip the 'Mech with a [[Compact Gyro]] and 18.5 tons of [[standard armor]]. The ''Tenshi'' also uses a number of new technologies that had finally entered production in the decades preceding the [[Jihad]]. The use of an Endo-Composite internal structure and a Light Fusion Engine granted the design a huge pod capacity of 48 tons. However, this large capacity had come at a price; that price being a slightly lower maximum speed than other comparable designs of the era.

The ''Tenshi'''s Primary configuration is equipped mainly with standard technologies that allow the 'Mech to engage an enemy unit at long-range.  Its main weapon is an arm-mounted [[Gauss rifle]] which is fed with 3 tons of ammunition.  Its other set of long range weaponry consists five Light Particle Projection Cannons, all of which are fitted into the 'Mech's right arm. For a last resort, the 'Mech sports a pair of 10-tubed Rocket Launchers, with one placed in each of its legs. All of the energy weapons are tied to a [[Targeting Computer]] for greater accuracy. Among other equipment found in this configuration is a [[Guardian ECM]], providing an electronic screen against enemy attacks, while a [[Supercharger]] is fitted into the center torso to help temporarily increase ground speed.<ref name=TRO3145DC/>

==Alternate Configurations==
The ''Tenshi'''s alternate configurations use a variety of [[Technology Rating|Advanced]] and Mixed technologies. 

*; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration's principle firepower comes from three [[Large Variable Speed Pulse Laser]]s, one mounted in each of the arms and in the center torso. Backing up the lasers is a single [[Apollo FCS]]-guided [[MRM-30]] with two tons of [[CASE II]]-protected ammunition. To help manage the great amounts of heat generated by the weapons, five additional [[Double Heat Sinks]] are added as well as a [[Coolant Pod]].

*; Alternate Configuration B : Designed to severely cripple or destroy an enemy, the B configuration is equipped with two [[TSEMP|TSEMP Cannons]], one in each of its arms. Its other weapons and equipment include: A single right torso-mounted [[Heavy PPC]], a pair of arm-mounted [[Streak SRM-6|Streak 6-tubed SRM Launchers]], and a pair of [[Medium Pulse Lasers]]. Three [[Jump Jets]] help the 'Mech travel difficult terrain, while five Double Heat Sinks keep heat levels fairly manageable. BV (2.0) = 3,002<ref name=TRO3145DC/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 164</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration R : This configuration utilizes a mix of Inner Sphere and Clan Technologies. The R configuration's long-range firepower comes from a pair of side-torso mounted [[ELRM-20|20-Tubed Extended Long-Range Missile Launchers]] with six tons of ammunition. Other weapons include five Clan Tech ER Medium Lasers found in the arms and in the center torso. A single Double Heat Sink is added to help manage heat.

==Design Quirks==
The ''Tenshi'' is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref name=TRO3145DC/>
* [[Difficult Ejection]]
* [[Distracting]]
* [[Searchlight]]

==Errata==
The ''Tenshi'''s A Configuration was originally rated as an [[Advanced Technology]] Configuration when it was originally published in TRO: 3145 Draconis Combine, however errata posted on Catalyst Game Lab's official errata board made correction due to the weapon system not being Advanced in the era/time it was in general use.<ref>[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=30294.msg1286721#msg1286721 ''Catalyst Game Labs forums posts errata on A Configuration being not Advance Technology - Posted 1/8/2016'']</ref>
