==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Orc''''' is the first [[ProtoMech]] developed wholly by [[Clan Hell's Horses]]. The ''Orc'' reflects the unique battle tactics of the Horses. Capable of high speed and very maneuverable, the ''Orc'' can keep up with fast [[BattleMech|'Mechs]] and [[Combat Vehicle|vehicles]] in the cavalry style attacks that the Horses prefer. After its introduction, the Horses attached entire [[Star]]s of Protos to their front line Clusters. Each Star assigned to the [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Alpha]] and [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Beta]] Galaxies had at least two ''Orcs'' in it.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 154: "Deployment"</ref>

==Armament==
The standard ''Orc'' uses a quartet of SRM-1 missile tubes, with each of the launchers carrying five reloads. Though this isn't a large amount of firepower for a single ProtoMech, any MechWarrior who's fighting a Point's worth of fast moving, hard to hit missile carriers will find themselves in trouble. Several ''Orc'' pilots are rumored to carry [[Inferno (Missile)|Inferno]] loads for their missile launchers, making them horrifically effective against conventional vehicles and infantry.

*;''Orc'' 2 : This is the fire support version of the ''Orc''. It mounts two [[LRM]]-2 launchers and a [[Machine Gun]]. The only drawback to this model is the lack of reloads for its LRM racks. BV (2.0) = 174<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 290</ref>

*;''Orc'' 3 : Trading armor protection for firepower, the ''Orc'' 3 mounts an additional SRM tube (totaling five). Each launcher carries three shots. Because the armor protection is reduced, killing the ''Orc'' 3 is much easier than killing the standard ''Orc''. BV (2.0) = 168<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 291</ref>
