Description

First known to have been deployed in 3073, the Rogue Bear is a battle armor design produced by Clan Ghost Bear. Initially confused for the Golem, the Rogue Bear is a heavy battlesuit that was initially deployed with garrison units, especially those of the KungsArme who were incorporated into the Ghost Bear touman.

The Rogue Bear can jump up to sixty meters at a time. It is protected by almost enough armor to stop a Gauss Rifle. The battlesuit uses mostly standard components with no disposable weaponry. Though it fits with their hatred of waste, this seems to underscore the difficulties the Bears are having maintaining their touman through the Jihad and the troubles in the Clan homeworlds.

Armament

The Rogue Bear's primary anti-vehicle weaponry is a Short Range Missile launcher that can fire three warheads and has four shots. Two Machine Guns can make short work of infantry forces. In case a Rogue Bear Point ends up in melee combat, the armor's arms end in Vibro-Claws that make mincemeat of flesh and armor alike. They also allow the heavy suit to ride OmniMechs.

Variants

• Rogue Bear-HR - Overseen by two native Rasalhaguians, the Rogue Bear-HR is a prototype battle armor suit that incorporates the best technologies of the Inner Sphere and Clan Ghost Bear. Intended as a heavy reconnaissance unit the Rogue Bear-HR replaces the standard armor with Basic Stealth armor that provides as much protection as a standard Elemental suit. To further enhance protection the armor uses a Camo System that makes the armor more difficult to find. The Partial Wing system allows it to move up to 90 meters at a time. Armed only with a Machine Gun and Anti-Personnel Weapon Mount, the Rogue Bear-HR isn't intended to face heavy forces, but to find insurgents. As it doesn't quite fit in with the Ghost Bear method of warfare, it wasn't deployed widely. BV (2.0) = 48

• Rogue Bear-Hybrid - Based on the Rogue Bear-HR, the Rogue Bear-Hybrid is a production-level version of that armor. To address comments and complaints from the users, the Battle Claws used by the HR were replaced by basic manipulators. The Partial Wing was also a problem, and so it was replaced by a Battle Armor Jump Booster system that provided the same 90 meter range and was easier to use. The weight savings made by these changes allowed the engineers to add a second Machine Gun and AP Weapon mount, doubling the suit's firepower. The Stealth Armor and Camo System of the Rogue Bear-HR were left in place, providing excellent protection and stealth capabilities. The Rogue Bear-Hybrid is popular with those formations that use the Kobold suit. BV (2.0) = 52
