−	With increasing tensions between [[Clan Ghost Bear]] warriors and former members of the [[KungsArmé]] after the merger of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] into the Dominion, the Ghost Bear [[Khan]]s asked both groups of warriors to collaborate on a 'Mech design. Almost unanimously both sides wanted a fast and highly mobile heavy design free of ammunition concerns, with firepower a secondary consideration. While derisively referred to by some as the ''[[Charger]]'' IIC, the specialist ''Kuma'' was a heavy cornerstone to light [[Star]]s in the post-[[Jihad]] Dominion ''[[touman]]''.<ref name="TRO:3085p158+"/>	+	With increasing tensions between [[Clan Ghost Bear]] warriors and former members of the [[KungsArmé]] after the merger of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] into the Dominion, the Ghost Bear [[Khan]]s asked both groups of warriors to collaborate on a 'Mech design.
