The 'Mech was conceived as part of a joint project between House Kurita and its then ally Clan Nova Cat, and served as part of an effort to aid in the rebuilding the Clan's depleted ''[[touman]]'' as a result of the aftermath of the [[2nd Combine-Dominion War]] that ended in [[3101]].<ref>''BattleTech: 25 Years of Art & Fiction'', p. 29: Timeline - end of Second Combine-Dominion War ends 3101</ref> The 'Mech would be developed over the next 30 years, however development would prove to be challenging for both groups. After decades of development, the ''Avalanche'' would still have a number of design flaws which would give it a bad reputation among warriors of Clan Nova Cat. The 'Mech would soon be deployed shortly before House Kurita's invasion of the [[Republic of the Sphere]], where it would serve among House Kurita's elite forces. After the destruction of Clan Nova Cat, as a result of its revolt against Coordinator [[Yori Kurita]], the dead Clan's allotment of ''Avalanche''s would be sold off to other Inner Sphere powers.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 34: "Avalanche OmniMech Profile" - Background info</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== Constructed using Inner Sphere technologies, the 'Mech design was envisioned with economics in mind. The ''Avalanche'' is powered by a 250-rated [[fusion engine]], giving it a modest maximum speed of 86 km/h, while its hull is protected by 10 tons of [[standard armor]], which gives it less armor protection than other designs of the time. Mobility is enhanced with five [[jump jet]]s, and [[CASE]] mounted in its right torso protected against complete destruction from a magazine detonation. Additional equipment and weapons are allotted 16 tons of [[pod space]], giving decent flexibility. The ''Avalanche'' gains its name from its primary configuration which consists of two [[LRM-10]] launchers in its torso, which obscure it in a white, snow-like cloud of smoke when firing. These are backed up with a quartet of [[ER medium laser]]s mounted in the arms.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 34–35, 87: "Avalanche OmniMech Profile" - Stats</ref> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : A short to medium range brawler, ''Avalanche'' A swaps out its [[LRM-10]] launchers for a pair of [[SRM-6]] and [[SRM-4]] Launchers.
