Overview:
Seven years after the release of their original Arctic Wolf, Phelan Ward?s Wolves finally
released the long-planned Omni variant, just in time for the explosive start of the Jihad.
Initially the new Omni was met positively, with Exile warriors eager to add a mid-weight
Omni to their arsenal. This eagerness did not last long in the face of the final design.
Slower than its non-Omni progenitor, the Arctic Wolf Omni traded ground mobility for
firepower in an era where ?speed as armor? had become more critical than ever before. The
minimal increase in the Omni?s armor and jump jets did not offset the reduction in ground
speed, quickly earning disfavor among front-line Wolf warriors. The one attempt to address
the problems was generally considered an even worse effort, with the 3070 J configuration
giving up half its jump jets for more firepower. Production of the original Omni was
discontinued in 3074. In 3082 a new project was begun, to finally correct the failings of
the Omni chassis.
Capabilities:
The Arctic Wolf II OmniMech began its redesign at its very heart. Again mounting a Light
Force 280 XL engine, the new Omni returned to the original?s ground speed. Seven fixed jump
jets took the one popular feature of the original Omni design and merged it with the old
model. Six and a half tons of ferro-fibrous armor provide more protection than either of the
two prior models. The armor change and jump jets with the original engine necessitated a
redesign of the chassis, leading to the Mad Cat-like appearance of the Omni II. Fourteen
tons of pod space is less than either of its predecessors, which initially puts it at a
disadvantage until its greatly-improved mobility is factored in. More mobile jumping or on
the ground, it can bring its smaller payload to bear with greater efficiency while
increasing its defensive ability with the armor of speed.
The Arctic Wolf II?s Prime configuration improves on the Omni J. Dropping the
ammunition-dependant plasma cannon and replacing the inaccurate heavy laser for
anti-infantry capable small pulses, it retains its electronics package and streak launchers.
The A model is an update of the original A and appears ideal for supporting the direct-fire
Pack Hunter. The dual LRM 15 launchers give it long-range support, but once out of
ammunition it only has two medium lasers for offense and a small pulse to repel infantry
attacks. The B updates the original Arctic Wolf 2 using SRM 4 racks and doing away with the
disdained Narc launcher. The mobility of the Omni II?s jump jets make the B?s large pulse
laser a highly effective flanking weapon. The last known configuration of the Arctic Wolf II
covers new ground, creating a fast harasser design. The two extended-range large lasers will
quickly overheat the C configuration in continuous use, but as a fast harasser it should
prove highly effective, particularly against the light and fast vehicles that are becoming
more common on the battlefield.
Deployment:
The first production Arctic Wolf II walked off the Arc-Royal assembly lines less than six
months ago, but it has already shown up in the most unlikely of places. Immortal War is one
of the most popular war game simulation systems in the Sphere. Using near-military-grade
simulators, IW centers offer civilians an experience as close to a real combat sim as is
legally possible. Last month, the IW affiliate on Terra released new simulator models,
including the Arctic Wolf II. Given IW?s track record for picking BattleMechs that have gone
on to be highly popular and successful, the new Exile Omni certainly bears keeping an eye
on.
In the real world the Arctic Wolf II has only seen limited deployment to the Exiles? Alpha
Galaxy. The one notable exception is a single chassis that has been gifted to the rebuilding
Kell Hounds. Sporting Hound colors, the ?Allard?s Revenge? is a strong signal that the
Exiles and Hounds are still close allies.
