==Canonicity==
 
The '''Project Omega''' document was an [[w:April Fools|April Fools joke]] by [[Dave McCulloch]] and [[Warner Doles]] uploaded to the official classicbattletech.com site. Pertaining to be an official [[Technical Readout]]-style document within the [[BattleTech]] universe (a report within [[Word of Blake]]), it described the super-heavy ''Orca''-class [[BattleMech]], complete with combat history and variants.
 
  
Although clearly marked as non-canonical, the design gained notoriety among fans similar to the ''[[Gausszilla]]''. Within the document it was classified as a "Dreadnought"; 'Mechs massing above 100 tons are otherwise known as [[:Category:Colossal BattleMechs|collossal]] 'Mechs.

==Variants==
 
The ''Orca'' as presented does not appear to be an Omni design.
 
*One variant exchanges the artillery piece for a quartet of rotary gauss guns, "deadly against light vehicles".
 
*The other variant exchanges the artillery piece for two more ER PPCs plus heat sinks.
