== Description ==
The '''''Orochi''''' is a [[Jihad|post-Jihad]] Assault [[BattleMech]] built by [[Victory Industries]] on [[Marduk]].  This 'Mech was intended to be an upgrade of the ancient ''[[Longbow]]'' fire-support design, and the [[Draconis Combine]] put great effort into updating the factories on Marduk for production of the ''Orochi'', with the intent of using it as a symbol of the nation's recovery and economic resurgence from the war.  However, the 'Mech's advanced weaponry was cited as being overly expensive and requiring a high degree of maintenance. When it was initially produced, intelligence agencies foresaw that it would only be put into limited production.<ref name="TRO:3085p102+"/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==
The ''Orochi'' utilizes [[Advance Technology|Advance Tech]] Missile launchers in place of the ''Longbow's'' traditional LRM launchers.  It has been equipped with two Advanced Tech [[Telos ThunderShot]] [[Thunderbolt 20]] Launchers in each arm, which are allotted six tons of ammunition split between two bays in the arms. To supplement the ''Orochi''&#39;s short-range firepower, it has been fitted with two [[Streak_SRM-4#Telos_TargetLok-4|Telos TargetLok-4]] [[Streak SRM-4]]s, similarly located in the arms. The only energy weapon, a [[Victory 12E]] [[Extended Range Small Laser]], is mounted in the head. A [[Hermes 360|360 Rated Hermes]] [[XL engine|Extra-light Engine]] provides the additional free tonnage for its loadout, and propels the assault 'Mech up to 64 km/h. To protect its vitals and vulnerable ammunition, the ''Orochi '' is armored with 17.5 tons of [[Starshield A]] [[standard armor]].<ref name="TRO:3085p102+"/>
