Description
The War Crow is a Heavy OmniMech fielded by Clan Snow Raven. Commissioned by Khan Sterling McKenna, she had implemented development of the War Crow as a part of efforts to prepare her Clan for a war she believed could end up coming to the Alliance. The War Crow was designed to become the backbone of a newly revived Touman of Clan Snow Raven.
Weapons and Equipment
Powered by the Redline 350 Extra-Light Fusion Engine, the War Crow is designed to move at a modest pace with other combatants. The Snow Raven Scientist caste designed the 'Mech with the latest in their Clan's armor protection, 15.5 tons of Ferro-Lamellor. While still a heavy OmniMech, the Ravens choose to give the Mech a fully functional hand actuator in the right arm.
As a frontline combatant for the Snow Ravens, the Mech was designed to be fitted with 25 tons of OmniPods of Weapons and equipment. The primary configuration's setup with balanced weapons, make it a generalist. The Prime's long-range weapons include a pair of Clan built 15-tubed Long-Range Missile Launchers teamed with an Extended Range PPC, which is further enhanced with a Capacitor.
For close-in combat, the Mech has pair of both ER- & Pulse-type Medium Lasers in the arms and side torsos. The launchers are supplied with 4 tons of reloads, split between ammo bins found each of the Mech's arms.[1]
