Description
Designed by Clan Nova Cat in order to use excess Clan-grade materials, the Hellhound was produced entirely in the Inner Sphere using captured Spheroid factories, though the technology is firmly Clan-grade. The Hellhound is a fast and effective second-line trooper mech that the Falcons used to rebuild their shattered touman. Oddly for a second-line design, it relies on a Clan 300-rated XL Engine for power. The armaments are clearly meant for mid-range engagements: A LB-10X Autocannon for punch, an ER Large Laser for reach, and a Streak-SRM 6 and twin ER Medium Lasers for closer range power.

Description
The Hellhound as originally designed was somewhat different from the mech that made it to production. The original design team eventually got their first take right and managed to bring it to production as the HLH-2. Where the HLH-1 was built around a LB-10X, the HLH-2 was instead built around paired Ultra Autocannon/5s. The ER Large Laser has been dropped entirely. The Streak SRM-6 has been replaced with a SRM-4 and SRM-2, while the ER Medium Lasers were retained entirely. The HLH-2 was released to little fanfare though it found decent acceptance among the warrior caste.

Description
Eventually, Clan Nova Cat took their new Hellhound and began to iterate on the design. Among the iterations was the Hellhound HLH-6 which reimagined the mech as a fast support design. Armed with a battery of ER Medium Lasers, an ER PPC, a LRM-10, and a captured Clan Wolf ER Medium Pulse Laser, the HLH-6 proved a quiet and effective second-line design and would go on to serve the Nova Cats honorably for years to come.
