"Headhunter" Karhu

The first Clantech OmniMech produced by Odin Manufacturing for the Ghost Bear Dominion, the Karhu (Finnish for "Bear") earned the reputation as a fast cavalry 'Mech.

Excited by the prospect of retooling to produce new designs using Clan technology, Odin Manufacturing was forced to bide their time as they recovered from Word of Blake raids during the early stages of the Jihad, producing their existing Inner Sphere 'Mechs. Entering the bidding to produce a new Dominion Heavy OmniMech design in 3077, Odin saw off their competitor Bergan Industries two years later with a superior 65 ton design using the latest Clan technology available and a sales campaign based around Rasalhagian nationalism aimed at former officers of the KungsArmé. First deployed in 3079, too late to take part in Operation SCOUR, the Karhu made up an increasing volume of the front line clusters of the Dominion's post-Jihad Touman.
