Overview:
From the same lineage of "WalkerPods" as the Ostroc and Ostsol, the Ostwar was Ostmann
Industries' first attempt at creating a BattleMech.[1][8]
Designed in 2470 but only entering production in 2500, the Ostwar was technologically
primitive compared to other 'Mech designs developed in the Terran Hegemony at the time,
forcing the Terran based firm to sell it to other nation states. Produced until the start of
the Reunification War, the Ostwar would enjoy moderate success in the Capellan Confederation
and the Free Worlds League, buying Ostmann the time and funding to build more advanced
designs such as its successful Ostroc and Ostsol. To save on costs, many of these later
designs shared similar and compatible parts with the more primitive Ostwar, with the design
becoming extinct in the early Succession Wars, stripped for parts to maintain the more
modern designs after the destruction of the Ostmann plant on Terra.[1][8]
One of the many ancient designs revived thanks to the Hegemony Memory Core, the new
independent Principality of Regulus's desperate need for BattleMechs during the Jihad saw
them convert the Harmony MetalWorks IndustrialMech factory to production of the primitive
2M, with Ronin Incorporated building a new assembly line for the modern 3M after that
conflict concluded.[1][8]
Harmony MetalWorks and Ronin were not the only companies to produce Ostwars during the
Jihad; other companies such as Osaka Heavy Metrics, a Draconis Combine IndustrialMech
manufacturer, converted their existing lines to produce the Ostwar amongst other RetroTech
designs from their factories on Togura and Philadelphia.[9]
The Ostwar has a host of primitive and heavier technologies throughout its design such as
its primitive cockpit. Constructed using a primitive eleven-ton Hermes 235, the underpowered
engine limited the Ostwar to a top speed of 54 kph, while seventeen and half tons of
Primitive Armor provides far less protection than modern armor materials.
Capabilities:
The Ostwar IIC was a revived by a board clan khan after discovering this design in a back
water log of forgotten mechs from a long lost age of Battletech. Hoping to give this a new
life is the now Ostwar IIC. Upgraded to the Clan standard of equipment and Clan speed of
battle able to lope into battle at 86 kph this long forgotten mech can bring new death to
the Kurita Allan scum in this sector of space.
