==Description==
The '''''Doom Courser''''' is a Heavy Quad [[OmniMech]] originally built by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] to provide a solid anchor for their [[QuadVee]] and vehicle Stars. While quadrupedal BattleMechs are typically seen as more vulnerable due to their relative lack of flexibility, the ''Doom Courser'' fits well into the Horses' [[Mongol Doctrine]]. Its vulnerable flanks can be protected by nimbler and more agile escorts, while its powerful long-range armament allows it to strike down whatever the skirmishers flush out.<ref name=RG22p4>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 22'', p. 4</ref>

The ''Doom Courser'' commonly serves as the ride for the commanding Star Captain or other officer.  This is due to the robust CH3V comm system mounted into the 'Mech's stylized tail.  This communication system is capable of linking up with planetary communications networks and cutting through most common forms of jamming.  A side effect of this tendency is that ''Doom Courser''s are commonly the target of headhunting attacks, though the Horses have adapted their tactics to these predictable strikes.<ref name=RG22p4/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Serving as the anchor in vehicle and QuadVee Stars, the ''Doom Courser'' is a resilient beast.  Its standard [[Fusion engine|280 fusion engine]] propels it to 64.8 km/h, and when combined with its twelve tons of [[ferro-fibrous armor]] give it superior battlefield endurance. With 28 tons of available pod space, the inclusion of a [[BattleMech Turret]] that can mount fifteen tons of equipment—in addition to its more traditionally mounted secondary armament—helps mitigate the typical disadvantages of a quadrupedal design, by giving the mounted weapons a 360° firing arc. All configurations of the ''Doom Courser'' take advantage of this design choice by mounting heavy-hitting, long-range weapons in the turret, allowing its pilot to command the battlefield from afar.<ref name=RG22p5/>

The Primary Configuration is geared towards long-range combat, with an [[ER PPC]] and [[LRM 20]] augmented by Artemis IV mounted in its [[BattleMech Turret]].  A [[Gauss rifle]] is mounted in the left torso, giving the 'Mech a heavy punch that doesn't tax its heat systems.<ref name=RG22p5/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*;Alternate Configuration A : A flexible brawler, the A-configuration's primary weapons are a pair of the largest [[Advanced_Tactical_Missile|Advanced Tactical Missile racks]] available.  These ATM 12's are mounted in the turret and are supplied by an incredible six tons of ammunition, giving the launchers endurance and flexibility.  A single [[Large Pulse Laser|large pulse laser]] and two additional [[Double Heat Sink|double heat sinks]] are mounted in the left torso.  BV (2.0) = 2,139<ref name=RG22p5/>

*;Alternate Configuration B : A juggernaut designed to fight in the middle of the battle, the B-configuration mounts four [[Medium Pulse Laser|medium pulse lasers]] in its turret and a mammoth [[LB_20-X_AC|Class-20 LB-X autocannon]] in the left torso.  Three tons of ammunition gives the pilot some flexibility to vary the ammo loadout, while the addition of four [[Jump Jet|jump jets]] provides additional mobility.  BV (2.0) = 2,091<ref name=RG22p5/>

*;Alternate Configuration C : The C-configuration is a pure missile boat.  Four [[LRM 15|LRM 15s]] occupy the turret while a fifth sits in the left torso.  Nine tons of ammunition provide endurance and are protected by [[CASE II]].  BV (2.0) = 2,147<ref name=RG22p5/>

*;Alternate Configuration D : The D-configuration mounts only two weapons: An [[ER PPC]] in the turret and a mammoth [[Hyper-Assault_Gauss_Rifle_40|Class-40 Hyper-Assault Gauss rifle]] in the left torso.  A relatively plentiful five tons of ammunition feed the Gauss rifle, but MechWarriors will need to watch their ammunition levels in protracted campaigns.  BV (2.0) = 2,453<ref name=RG22p5/>
