================================================================================================
Overview:
    A mixed-tech design made by relatively new firm Republic Engineering with the backing of
    Clan elements within the Republic of the Sphere, the Blackwell OmniMech is intended for use
    by elite MechWarriors within the Republic military. While primarily kitted as a frontline
    brawler thanks to generous OmniPod space and maxed-out armor, the design has been adapted
    into a variety of roles.
    
    Prior to the activation of the Fortress Republic, the Federated Suns successfully negotiated
    for a select few of their manufacturers to gain access to the design so it could be produced
    for the AFFS. Thus the 'Mech would outlive the Republic it was made  to serve.
    
    The D configuration in particular is Federated Suns-exclusive, meant to be a close-in
    shredder.
