Description

The Starhawk was a Clan Snow Raven OmniMech rapidly designed after the Clan gained the Timber Wolf's leg actuator specifications in 2948. The adaptability of OmniMech gyros allowed the Ravens to mount a Hellbringer's torso atop the Timber Wolf's legs, producing a new 'Mech.[2]

Weapons and Equipment

The StarHawk used a fixed core protected by 8.5 tons of ferro-fibrous armor, built around a 350 XL engine and 14 double heat sinks.[1]

The Prime configuration mounted an ultra AC/10 in each arm. The left torso held a suite of electronics - an active probe and an ECM suite - and the right bore an SRM-6 pack.[1]

Notes

  • The Starhawk was first seen in the BattleTech Activity Book. One of the activities in the book was to design one's own OmniMech out of arms, legs, and bodies from various designs. The Starhawk was the example given.[3]
