| |
− | The first appearance of '''Project Omega''' document was an [[w:April Fools|April Fools joke]] by [[Dave McCulloch]] and [[Warner Doles (person)|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. The ''Orca'' name has been semi-canonized in Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere, with the mention that prior to the development of the [[Poseidon (BattleMech)|''Poseidon'']] tripod super heavy 'Mech, the [[Republic of the Sphere]] built a prototype super heavy 'Mech named the ''Orca'' that heavily inspired the ''Poseidon''. Described as a lumbering biped derived from the [[Omega (BattleMech)|''Omega'']] that was mothballed after shortly after its prototype models were produced, the appearance and unit specifications of this Republic ''Orca'' prototype design are currently unknown.<ref name=TRO3145RotS-44>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 44 "PSD-V2 Poseidon"</ref>
| |
− | The ''Orcs'' has been fully-canonized in Experimental Technical Readout: Republic II.<ref name=XTRORepublicIIRotS-14-15>''Experimental Technical Readout: Republic II'', p. 14-15 "OC-1X Orca"</ref>

− | ==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.
