The [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bears]] needed access to a new medium BattleMech using Clan technology, resulting in the development of the '''Beowulf IIC'''. The design was produced by [[Odin Manufacturing]], which had been flush from their earlier successes selling other designs to the Ghost Bear military. As quick method answer the call, they created Clan version of one of their older Inner Sphere design. − One of the many smaller manufacturers to emerge in the wake of the [[Clan Invasion]], [[Odin Manufacturing]]'s prospects soared with the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] and the [[Clan Ghost Bear]] takeover of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]]. Flush from the success of the ''[[Karhu]]'' [[OmniMech]] and eager to make the 15-year-old ''Beowulf'' more profitable, Odin set about developing [[IIC]] style remake under its own initiative. Though the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Ghost Bear ''touman'']]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s post-Jihad need for a fast medium Clan [[BattleMech]] to supplement the slower ''[[Ursus (BattleMech)|Ursus]]'' led them to buy the overly expensive ''Beowulf IIC'', the fact the Dominion needed a fast medium OmniMech even more and that Odin was clearly engaging in blatant profiteering increasingly soured the integration of Rasalhagian and Ghost Bear arms manufacturing.<ref name=TROP-144>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 144: "Beowulf IIC"</ref>+ The design serves as a cavalry design, used in task of flanking and harrying an enemy. When it first enters service, the Beowulf IIC served as a companion unit to Ghost Bear's [[Ursus]]. The 'Mech bolsters maneuverability of Jump Jets, high-speed boosted by the addition [[MASC]], with eleven tons of Ferro-Fibrous Armor to protect itself in heat of battle. As effort to help combat electronic threats on battlefield, it also mounts an [[Advance Technology|Advanced]] all-in-one Watchdog Composite Electronic Warfare System.

The main benefits of the switch to Clan-grade components was increased survivability for its 270-rated [[XL engine]] and the saving of half a ton through the use of Clan [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. Aside from that, the ''Beowulf IIC'' offers identical ground speed, bolstered by [[MASC]], and jump distance as the ComStar BEO-12 model. The most notable and hotly contested change was the replacement of the [[Beagle active probe]] and [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] with a [[Watchdog CEWS]] and [[light TAG]]; while technically offering the same abilities with the added bonus of an [[ECM suite]] for less weight, the significantly reduced range forces the ''Beowulf IIC'' to put itself at much greater risk to fulfill its intended role.<ref name=TROP-144/>+ The 'Mech weaponry includes a single Series PPS-XX Extended Range Large Pulse Laser, which serves as 'Mech's main battery. + Backing up the right arm weapon is a pair of smaller Extended Range Medium Lasers mounted in it left.<ref>''TRO: Prototypes'', pp. 144-145 Beowulf II - Mech's weapons.</ref> − Similar to the ComStar original, the ''Beowulf IIC'' carries a right-arm mounted [[Series PPS-XX]] [[ER large pulse laser]] supported by a pair of left-arm mounted [[Series PPS-XIX]] [[ER medium pulse laser]]s. While doing more damage than the less advanced Inner Sphere weapons, the range brackets of the ComStar and Dominion models are almost identical, leading to further questions as to the value of the newer and more expensive design. <ref name=TROP-144/>+ ==Notes== − + Design Quirks: Bad Reputation, EM Interferrence, Exposed Actuators, and Extended Torso Twist. − ==Variants== − *; ''Beowulf IIC-PR'' : This design was the result of experimenting with integrating [[improved C3 computer]]s into Clan designs. The base chassis, armor, and ground performance remain the same as the parent design, but the [[ER large pulse laser]] and [[light TAG]] were replaced with a standard [[ER large laser]] and [[C3i computer]]. This design was used by troops from the [[First Drakøns]] on [[Labrea]] in [[3099]]. The C3i technology was eventually removed from the factory by [[The Republic of the Sphere]] inspectors after exerting political pressure to stop using the equipment.
