From the same lineage of "WalkerPods" as the ''[[Ostroc]]'' and ''[[Ostsol]]'', the '''''Ostwar''''' was [[Ostmann Industries]]' first attempt at creating a [[BattleMech]].<ref name="JHS:3076p116+"/><ref name="XTRO:PV1p6"/>

Designed in [[Introduction Year::2470]] by [[Ernst Ostmann]] but only entering production in [[Production Year::2500]], the ''Ostwar'' was technologically primitive compared to other 'Mech designs developed in the [[Terran Hegemony]] at the time, forcing the [[Terra]]n based firm to sell it to other nation states. Produced until the start of the [[Reunification War]], the ''Ostwar'' would enjoy moderate success in the [[Capellan Confederation]] and the [[Free Worlds League]], buying Ostmann the time and funding to build more advanced designs such as its successful ''Ostroc'' and ''Ostsol''. To save on costs, many of these later designs shared similar and compatible parts with the more primitive ''Ostwar'', with the design becoming extinct in the early [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], stripped for parts to maintain the more modern designs after the destruction of the Ostmann plant on Terra.<ref name="JHS:3076p116+"/><ref name="XTRO:PV1p6"/>

One of the many ancient designs revived thanks to the [[Hegemony Memory Core]], the new independent [[Principality of Regulus]]'s desperate need for BattleMechs during the [[Jihad]] saw them convert the [[Harmony MetalWorks]] [[IndustrialMech]] factory to production of the primitive 2M, with Ronin Incorporated building a new assembly line for the modern 3M after that conflict concluded.<ref name="JHS:3076p116+"/><ref name="XTRO:PV1p6"/>

Harmony MetalWorks and Ronin were not the only companies to produce ''Ostwar''s during the [[Jihad]]; other companies such as [[Osaka Heavy Metrics]], a [[Draconis Combine]] IndustrialMech manufacturer, converted their existing lines to produce the ''Ostwar'' amongst other [[Retrotech]] designs from their factories on [[Togura]] and [[Philadelphia]].<ref name="TRO:3085Sp34">''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 34, "SKU-197 Sokuryou SurveyMech"</ref>
