Overview:
    The Iron Cheetah Assault OmniMech design was created by Clan Smoke Jaguar in an effort to
    create their own unique assault OmniMech.
    Even though the Smoke Jaguar Clan were facing the issue of limited resources and ever
    increasing pressure from all sides to there touman.
    The Iron Cheetah was designed to supplement the Dire Wolf in the Clan Smoke Jaguar Touman
    and represented the pinnacle of Clan’s Invasion of the Inner Sphere OmniMech technology.
    No one would could have predicted this would be the last new OmniMech develop or produced by
    Clan Smoke Jaguar.

Capabilities:
    The Iron Cheetah Assault OmniMech design was created by Clan Smoke Jaguar in an effort to
    create their own unique assault OmniMech.
    Even though the Smoke Jaguar Clan were facing the issue of limited resources and ever
    increasing pressure from all sides to there touman.
    The Iron Cheetah was designed to supplement the Dire Wolf in the Clan Smoke Jaguar Touman
    and represented the pinnacle of Clan’s Invasion of the Inner Sphere OmniMech technology.
    No one would could have predicted this would be the last new OmniMech develop or produced by
    Clan Smoke Jaguar.
    Designed to improve upon the shortcomings of the Clan Wolf designed Dire Wolf. The Dire
    Wolf’s slow speed never made it popular amongst Smoke Jaguar Elementals, making them
    little more than extra armor for the OmniMech during battle. Khan Lincoln Osis commissioned
    the Iron Cheetah after Tukayyid to replace the as dragging Dire Wolf, demanding the
    scientists caste “make that damn taxi faster.”
    The Smoke Jaguar scientists increased the Iron Cheetah’s speed by adapting its new
    Endo-Steel Chassis to mount same Model SF-3 400 XL engine used in the Gargoyle Assault
    OmniMech. This enables to the Assault OmniMech to reach speeds of 64 km/h.
    While scientists feared the increase in engine size and mass would cause a major reduction
    the 'Mech's offensive payload, but the trade lead to increased cooling efficiency and caused
    little impact on the Iron Cheetah’s offensive punch. Almost as an afterthought,
    Ferro-Fibrous Armor was also used to save additional weight.

Deployment:
    The Iron Cheetah’s blooding came in a 3054 raid on Pesht, when Star Captain Alanis Showers
    found herself cut off by a heavy lance of the Ryuken-san. Had the Kuritans worked as a unit,
    they might have defeated her, but each samurai wanted the honor of destroying the new Jaguar
    ’Mech. Showers crippled a Wolverine with her opening salvo, scattering its lance-mates.
    The Ryuken Charger scored several telling hits with its LRM, but lost its head trying to
    close to pulse laser range. The lance’s Phoenix Hawk melted several tons of armor off the
    Iron Cheetah with long-range laser fire, even after losing an arm. A lucky shot to its
    engine brought down the jumping nuisance. That left Tai-i Hiro Nometsu in his family’s
    Grand Dragon. Nometsu thought victory was assured when his missiles blew off the Cheetah’s
    left arm and sent it to its knees. There was an exchange of words that Showers’ damaged
    battleROM did not record, but it appears that Nometsu let her stand and face him. The final
    exchange left the Grand Dragon legless in the mud. Showers limped her severely damaged but
    victorious Iron Cheetah to her DropShip. Alanis Showers soon won command of the Third
    Assault Cluster, and died when her unit returned to Pesht during the Jaguars’
    counterattack against Operation Bulldog.
