Description

Exemplifying the OmniMech concept, the flexible Huntsman was the premier medium 'Mech of Clan Nova Cat during Operation REVIVAL.[6][3][7]

The totemic[8] design for the Huntsman was initially developed by Clan Diamond Shark, but as part of the rivalry between the Merchant Castes of Clan Nova Cat and Clan Diamond Shark, the rights to this promising new OmniMech were Trialed for and won by the Nova Cats.[8]

The design, also favored by Oathmaster Biccon Winters, was contracted out by Khan Severen Leroux for further development and manufacture to Clan Cloud Cobra and their Brim Ironworks facility, in order to save resources. The Cloud Cobras, who were enamored with the new OmniMech, fast-tracked its manufacture in time for the invasion of the Inner Sphere.[9]

First seen within the 119th Nova Cat Striker Cluster during the Battle of Luthien, a Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery intelligence officer code-named the OmniMech "Nobori-nin" due to the single fin-like projection rising from the back of the 'Mech reminding him of the banner samurai wore on their backs in feudal Japan. Prized for its flexibility across a wide range of opponents and battlefield conditions, the Huntsman was almost exclusively a Nova Cat design during the initial Clan Invasion, but prior to the Word of Blake Jihad had entered service with Clans Diamond Shark, Cloud Cobra, and Star Adder.[3][7]

Weapons and Equipment

No expense has been spared in the construction of this front-line OmniMech that uses a 250-rated extralight fusion engine, endo steel structure, and nine tons of ferro-fibrous armor. Five jump jets enable it to leap up to 150 meters at a time.[6][3][7]

The Primary configuration of the Huntsman sports a myriad of weapons. An UAC/2 and Artemis IV-linked LRM-10 provide long-range capability, while four ER medium lasers and a Streak SRM-6 make it a vicious close range 'Mech. A pair of anti-personnel pods and a flamer protected it from conventional infantry, and an anti-missile system provided it with some defense against incoming missiles. An active probe found hidden units, and a TAG spotting laser could designate targets for homing artillery strikes.[6][3][7]

Alternate Configurations

  • Alternate Configuration I 
    This configuration provides heavy fire support. The right arm carries a HAG 20, fed a three-ton ammo bay is in the right torso. The left arm carries an ER large laser and a plasma cannon with two tons of ammunition. Finally, an ER small pulse laser deals with close in attacks. BV (2.0) = 2,277[8]
