Description
The Orca is a super-heavy BattleMech allegedly built and deployed by Clan Wolverine, the not-named Clan.
Canonicity
The Project Omega document was an 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 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.
