Description
The first OmniMech both designed and built by the Lyran Alliance. The inspiration for the Hauptmann is drawn form the Diashi OmniMech used by the Clans. Using information from captured Diashis and information gleaned from the contruction of the Firestarter OmniMech which was shared by the Draconis Combine. The end result is a powerful OmniMech capable of defending itself in most combat situations. The Hauptmann is built on a standard chassis and powered by a 285 fusion engine adding to the 'Mechs durability as it cannot be killed by a side torso loss. The Hauptmann has eleven double heat sinks fixed on the chassis and can add more if needed in its various configurations. For protection the Hauptmann carries eighteen and a half tons of armor and has CASE fixed in the right torso to protect against an ammunition explosion.
