Description

The Orochi is a Post-Jihad Assault BattleMech built by the Victory Industries on Marduk. The 'Mech is intended as a update to the ancient Longbow fire-support design. The Draconis Combine had put great effort to update the factories on Marduk to production of the 'Mech. Using it as a symbol of nation's recovery and economic resurgence from the war. However, the 'mechs advanced weaponry was cited as being overly expensive and requiring high maintenance. Thus when it was initially produced, it was foreseen by intelligence agencies that it would only put into limited production.
