==Description==
Developed in [[3032]] by [[Clan Ghost Bear]], the '''''Jengiz''''' [[OmniFighter]] is one of the heaviest and fiercest fighters fielded by the [[Clans]]. While stirring up considerable interest among the other Clans, only [[Clan Wolf]] succeeded in the [[Trial of Possession|Trials of Possession]] to secure the design, with other Clans fielding examples captured from either the Wolves or Ghost Bears to replace the venerable ''[[Kirghiz]]'' as their main super-heavy fighter.<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref name=TRO3055-162-163/><ref name=TRO3055R148-149>''Technical Readout: 3055 Revised'', pp. 148-149, "Jengiz Fighter Profile"</ref>

Because of its relatively poor maneuverability, the ''Jengiz'' has limited use in atmosphere and is deployed mainly in near-space defense. In some cases its performance is worse than [[Inner Sphere]] fighters of similar mass, but pilots should be wary of misjudging the fighter, as it features 13.5 tons of [[Bruin Heavy]] [[ferro-aluminum]] armor, mounts a whopping 20 [[double heat sink]]s on its base chassis while still leaving 43.5 tons free in available [[pod space]].<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref name=TRO3055-162-163>''Technical Readout: 3055'', pp. 162-163, "Jengiz OmniFighter Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3055R148-149/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The primary ''Jengiz'' configuration carries a formidable array of weaponry. An [[LB 10-X AC]] with a single ton of ammo, [[ER PPC]], [[medium pulse laser]], and [[ER small laser]] are all crammed into the nose, while each wing mounts a [[large pulse laser]] and medium pulse laser supported by a standard [[SRM-6]] with a single ton of reloads each. Firing into the aft arc is a rear-wing medium pulse laser, and an [[ECM suite]] interferes with the effects of advanced fire-control computers.<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref name=TRO3055-162-163/><ref name=TRO3055R148-149/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : A high-energy ground attack fighter, the A configuration serves as an excellent strafing design. Twin [[ER PPC]]s mounted in the nose and twin [[large pulse laser]]s under each wing allow repeated attack runs, while the seven additional [[double heat sink]]s assist in keeping things cool. An [[ER small laser]] fires aft to discourage tailing. BV (1.0) = 2,938<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 143</ref>, BV (2.0) = 3,206<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 353</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration B : The relatively rare B configuration is built to engage targets at long range. Carrying a [[Gauss rifle]] supported by two [[ER medium laser]]s in the nose, the ''Jengiz'' B rounds out its long range firepower with an [[ER PPC]] and [[Artemis IV FCS]] equipped [[LRM-20]] under each wing. A single [[ER small laser]] fends off attacks from the rear. Although three tons of Gauss reloads is sufficient for prolonged operations, a mere two tons of missiles severely hampers the LRM launcher effectiveness, with pilots often jettisoning the missile pods part way through a battle to slightly improve the fighter's maneuverability. BV (1.0) = 3,053<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 144</ref>, BV (2.0) = 3,558<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 354</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration C : An unusually ammo-hungry variant, the C configuration is believed to have evolved from the tactics used by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]]. A trio of nose-mounted [[Streak SRM-6]] launchers, supported by a mammoth [[LB 20-X AC]] under each wing offers the C incredible short-range firepower. Aft weaponry consists of a [[Streak SRM-4]] and a single [[ER small laser]]. Despite being almost completely ammo dependent, a four ton autocannon munitions bay allows for both standard and cluster rounds, while each highly efficient Streak launcher includes their own separate single ton ammo bin and keeps the ''Jengiz'' C in the action during most [[Trials]]. BV (1.0) = 2,200<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 145</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,246<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 355</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration D : A recent configuration, the ''Jengiz'' D features a mixture of short and long range weaponry. Twin [[heavy large laser]]s and an [[Artemis IV]]-enhanced [[LRM-20]] are mounted in the nose, supported by an [[ER large laser]], [[ER medium laser]], and [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher in each wing. While two tons each of LRM and Streak reloads keep the missile launchers firing, a single [[ER small laser]] wards the rear. BV (1.0) = 2,683<ref name=TRO3055U194-195/>, BV (2.0) = 2,941<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 356</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration E : Introduced during the [[Jihad]], this ''Jengiz'' configuration carries a nose-mounted [[ECM suite]] to interfere with enemy electronics systems. Armament consists of three [[ER large laser]]s in each wing with a nose-mounted [[ER small laser]] as an afterthought. To discourage enemy pursuit, the ''Jengiz'' E carries a quartet of [[Improved One Shot]] [[Streak SRM-2]] missile launchers in the aft arc. To disperse the heat from the main weapons, 36 [[double heat sink]]s are mounted. BV (2.0) = 2,983<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 357</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration F : This [[Dark Age]] configuration consists of a [[Long Tom Cannon]] and [[UAC/20]] mounted in the nose. Each wing mounts a single [[ER medium laser]], while an [[ER small laser]] covers the aft of the ''Jengiz''. The weapons are tied into an advanced [[targeting computer]]. BV (2.0) = 2,560<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 213</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration X : Apparently a testbed for [[Experimental Technology|experimental equipment]] the ''Jengiz'' X configuration carries a [[Watchdog CEWS]] system. Three [[RAC/5]]s, one in the nose and one in each wing, provide the main firepower while an [[improved heavy medium laser]] is also mounted in each wing. Covering the rear arc is a standard [[ER medium laser]]. BV (2.0) = 3,166<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 358</ref>

==Notes==
* In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to '''Dschengis''', the correct German transcription for Чингис.
