Description
The Ostroc is a heavy 'Mech which weighs in at the lower end of its weight class. The Ostroc was originally designed to act as an urban combat 'Mech. The Ostrocs speed and firepower allow the 'Mech to serve as both an urban combat 'Mech and as a front line combat 'Mech. The Ostroc also has the capability to keep up with most lighter 'Mechs with its top speed of 86.4 kph. The Ostroc is well protected by its nine tons of armor.
Appearance
Although the Ostroc is often pictured with two flat, paddle-like devices (presumably SRM-4 launchers) for "hands" on both arms, this is apparently a prototype or otherwise a non-standard variant of the 'Mech. It should be noted that the standard Ostroc mounts its single SRM-4 launcher in the right torso, and has two fully modelled hands. The launcher of this standard version juts sits upright in the right torso section, but otherwise looks much like one of the "hands" on the common picture.
- The standard configuration with hands and a launcher in the right torso was used for the miniature (see left) and is also used in various artwork such as the McCarron's Armored Cavalry (Scenario pack) which depicts three Ostrocs with hands and a shoulder-mounted SRM launcher on the cover.
Armament
The Ostroc carries as its primary weapons two Fuersturm-C Large Lasers. These give the Ostroc good medium to long range damage capabilities. The Ostrocs secondary weapons are two Fuersturm-b Medium Lasers and a Totschlagen SRM-4 launcher for close-range combat. Additionally, the Ostrocs laser heavy weapons payload allows the Ostroc to operate well as a guerilla fighter since it has limited dependency on supply lines.
Variants
- OSR-2D - Upgraded with Star League technology, the 2D variant of the Ostroc extends the 'Mechs maximum range by replacing the Large Lasers with two ER Large Lasers. The 2D retains the Medium Lasers and SRM-4 of the 2D model. BV (1.0) = 942, BV (2.0) = 1,306
- OSR-2L - The 2L variant of the Ostroc is modified for long range combat. The SRM-4 launcher has been replaced with an LRM-5 launcher, increasing the 'Mechs long-range damage capabilities slightly by sacrificing some of its close range firepower. BV (1.0) = 970, BV (2.0) = 1,233
- OSR-2M - The 2M variant of the Ostroc focuses on the 'Mechs maneuverability. Five jump jets have been added to the design, giving it a jumping distance of up to one hundred and fifty meters. In order to make this change, the Medium Lasers and the SRM-4 launcher were removed. BV (1.0) = 1,036, BV (2.0) = 1,239
- OSR-3C - The 3C variant looks to improve the long-range direct firepower of the Ostroc. The two Medium Lasers and the SRM-4 have been removed in order to add a third Large Laser to the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 976, BV (2.0) = 1,288
- OSR-4C - A Periphery variant of the Ostroc, the 4C's armor has been upgraded with nine tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, giving it more protection than previous models. Additionally, the SRM-4 launcher has been removed in favor of two Rocket Launcher 10s and two Rocket Launcher 15s, giving the 'Mech an incredible one-shot damage capability. BV (1.0) = 1,089, BV (2.0) = 1,322
- OSR-4L - A complete redesign of the Ostroc, the 4L carries the best technology the Capellan Confederation has to offer. The chassis has been re-engineered to use Endo Steel construction. The 'Mech carries two ER Large Lasers and two ER Medium Lasers. Finally, the 4L Ostroc has a Guardian ECM Suite for electronics warfare use and also to work with the new Stealth Armor that makes it extremely difficult to hit. BV (1.0) = 1,431, BV (2.0) = 1,832
- OSR-5W - A variant of the 4L, the 5W uses Ferro-Fibrous armor, a Light Engine, and a Small Cockpit to save weight. It ostensibly uses a Compact Gyro to save space, though it does not need it. The large lasers are replaced with Snub-Nose PPCs, while the ER Medium Lasers are retained. Instead of the ECM, the 5W carries an Improved C3 Computer in the head. BV (2.0) = ???
Notable Pilots
- Michi Noketsuna piloted a red Ostroc while he was aide to Minobu Tetsuhara, from the training of the Ryuken regiments up until the battle against Wolf's Dragoons on Misery in 3028. The 'Mech was destroyed in the fighting on Misery, and Noketsuna was severely injured when he ejected. He late went on to become the Bounty Hunter.
