Description

Designed by the Inner Sphere as an OmniMech technology testbed, the Hephaestus was eventually abandoned by IS powers. The plans circulated for a time, eventually ending up in the Periphery, where the large Periphery states decided to make use of them to kickstart their own OmniMech production. To keep costs down, the Hephaestus is powered by a slow fuel cell engine and standard heat sinks. The Prime variant carries twin Light AC/5s, a trio of Medium Lasers, and 2 SRM-4s for close-range support.
