==Description==
 
==Description==
Developed in [[3032]] by [[Clan Ghost Bear]], the '''''Jengiz''''' [[OmniFighter]] is one of the heaviest and fiercest fighters fielded by the [[Clans]]. While stirring up considerable interest among the other Clans, only [[Clan Wolf]] succeeded in the [[Trial of Possession|Trials of Possession]] to secure the design, with other Clans fielding examples captured from either the Wolves or Ghost Bears to replace the venerable ''[[Kirghiz]]'' as their main super-heavy fighter.<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref name=TRO3055-162-163/><ref name=TRO3055R148-149>''Technical Readout: 3055 Revised'', pp. 148-149, "Jengiz Fighter Profile"</ref>

Because of its relatively poor maneuverability, the ''Jengiz'' has limited use in atmosphere and is deployed mainly in near-space defense. In some cases its performance is worse than [[Inner Sphere]] fighters of similar mass, but pilots should be wary of misjudging the fighter, as it features 13.5 tons of [[Bruin Heavy]] [[ferro-aluminum]] armor, mounts a whopping 20 [[double heat sink]]s on its base chassis while still leaving 43.5 tons free in available [[pod space]].<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref name=TRO3055-162-163>''Technical Readout: 3055'', pp. 162-163, "Jengiz OmniFighter Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3055R148-149/>

In some cases its performance is worse than [[Inner Sphere]] fighters of similar mass, but pilots should be wary of misjudging the fighter, as it is features thirteen and a half tones of Bruin Heavy [[Ferro-Aluminum]] armor, mounts a whopping twenty [[Double Heat Sink]]s on it base chassis, while still leaving 43.5 tons free in available pod space.
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The primary ''Jengiz'' configuration carries a formidable array of weaponry. An [[LB 10-X AC]] with a single ton of ammo, [[ER PPC]], [[medium pulse laser]], and [[ER small laser]] are all crammed into the nose, while each wing mounts a [[large pulse laser]] and medium pulse laser supported by a standard [[SRM-6]] with a single ton of reloads each. Firing into the aft arc is a rear-wing medium pulse laser, and an [[ECM suite]] interferes with the effects of advanced fire-control computers.<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref name=TRO3055-162-163/><ref name=TRO3055R148-149/>

==Alternate Configurations==
 
==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : A high-energy ground attack fighter, the A configuration serves as an excellent strafing design. Twin [[ER PPC]]s mounted in the nose and twin [[large pulse laser]]s under each wing allow repeated attack runs, while the seven additional [[double heat sink]]s assist in keeping things cool. An [[ER small laser]] fires aft to discourage tailing.

The twin ER PPCs in the nose, and the twin large pulse lasers under each wing, while seven addition of double heat sinks allows repeated attack runs. An ER small laser fires aft to discourage tailing. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 3,206
 
 
*; Alternate Configuration B : The relatively rare B configuration is built to engage targets at long range. Carrying a [[Gauss rifle]] supported by two [[ER medium laser]]s in the nose, the ''Jengiz'' B rounds out its long range firepower with an [[ER PPC]] and [[Artemis IV FCS]] equipped [[LRM-20]] under each wing. A single [[ER small laser]] fends off attacks from the rear. Although three tons of Gauss reloads is sufficient for prolonged operations, a mere two tons of missiles severely hampers the LRM launcher effectiveness, with pilots often jettisoning the missile pods part way through a battle to slightly improve the fighter's maneuverability. BV (1.0) = 3,053<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 144</ref>, BV (2.0) = 3,558<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 354</ref>
 
 
 
*; Alternate Configuration C : An unusually ammo-hungry variant, the C configuration is believed to have evolved from the tactics used by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]]. A trio of nose-mounted [[Streak SRM-6]] launchers, supported by a mammoth [[LB 20-X AC]] under each wing  offers the C incredible short-range firepower. Aft weaponry consists of a [[Streak SRM-4]] and a single [[ER small laser]]. Despite being almost completely ammo dependent, a four ton autocannon munitions bay allows for both standard and cluster rounds, while each highly efficient Streak launcher includes their own separate single ton ammo bin and keeps the ''Jengiz'' C in the action during most [[Trials]]. BV (1.0) = 2,200<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 145</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,246<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 355</ref>
 
  
*; Alternate Configuration D : A recent configuration, the ''Jengiz'' D features a mixture of short and long range weaponry. Twin [[heavy large laser]]s and an [[Artemis IV]]-enhanced [[LRM-20]] are mounted in the nose, supported by an [[ER large laser]], [[ER medium laser]], and [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher in each wing. While two tons each of LRM and Streak reloads keep the missile launchers firing, a single [[ER small laser]] wards the rear. BV (1.0) = 2,683<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/>, BV (2.0) = 2,941<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 356</ref>

BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 3,558
  
*; Alternate Configuration E : Introduced during the [[Jihad]], this ''Jengiz'' configuration carries a nose-mounted [[ECM suite]] to interfere with enemy electronics systems. Armament consists of three [[ER large laser]]s in each wing with a nose-mounted [[ER small laser]] as an afterthought. To discourage enemy pursuit, the ''Jengiz'' E carries a quartet of [[Improved One Shot]] [[Streak SRM-2]] missile launchers in the aft arc. To disperse the heat from the main weapons, 36 [[double heat sink]]s are mounted. BV (2.0) = 2,983<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 357</ref>

BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 2,246
  
*; Alternate Configuration F : This [[Dark Age]] configuration consists of a [[Long Tom Cannon]] and [[UAC/20]] mounted in the nose. Each wing mounts a single [[ER medium laser]], while an [[ER small laser]] covers the aft of the ''Jengiz''. The weapons are tied into an advanced [[targeting computer]]. BV (2.0) = 2,560<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 213</ref>
+
* Alt Config D - A recent variation, the ''Jengiz'' D is a mixture of short and long range weaponry. Twin [[Heavy Large Laser]]s and an Artemis enhanced LRM-20 are mounted in the nose, supported by a [[ER Large Laser]], ER Medium and Streak SRM-6 launcher in each wing. While two tons each of LRM and Streak reloads keep the missile launchers firing, a single ER Small Laser wards the rear. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 2,941
 
 
*; Alternate Configuration X : Apparently a testbed for [[Experimental Technology|experimental equipment]] the ''Jengiz'' X configuration carries a [[Watchdog CEWS]] system. Three [[RAC/5]]s, one in the nose and one in each wing, provide the main firepower while an [[improved heavy medium laser]] is also mounted in each wing. Covering the rear arc is a standard [[ER medium laser]]. BV (2.0) = 3,166<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 358</ref>
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
* In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to '''Dschengis''', the correct German transcription for Чингис.
