Excited by the prospect of retooling to produce new designs using Clan technology, Odin Manufacturing were forced to bide their time as they recovered from [[Word of Blake]] raids during the early stages of the [[Jihad]] producing their existing Inner Sphere 'Mechs. Entering the bidding to produce a new Dominion Heavy OmniMech design in [[3077]], Odin saw off their competitor [[Bergan Industries]] two years later with a superior 65 ton design using the latest Clan technology available and a sales campaign based around Rasalhagian nationalism aimed at former officers of the [[KungsArmé]]. First deployed in 3079, too late to take part in [[Operation SCOUR]], the ''Karhu'' made up an increasing volume of the front line clusters of the Dominion's post-Jihad ''[[Touman]]''.<ref name="TRO:3085p162+"/> Built on an [[Endo Steel]] based chassis, powered by a Pitban 325-rated [[XL engine]] and clad in ten and half tons of Compound A2F [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, the ''Karhu'' featured respectable speed and armor for its size while providing thirty tons of available pod space for equipment. Twelve [[Double Heat Sink]]s coped with most of the waste heat of its varied configurations.<ref name="TRO:3085p162+"/> == Weapons and Equipment == The primary configuration appealed to the KungsArmé’s love of physical combat by mounting a three-pronged claw shaped [[Retractable Blade]] over a [[Plasma Cannon]], supported by an [[ER PPC]] and [[ER Medium Laser]] in its left arm. Carrying a ton of Plasma reloads, the ''Karhu'' Prime also boasted superb maneuverability thanks to the inclusion of [[Improved Jump Jet]]s.<ref name="TRO:3085p162+"/> == Alternate Configurations == *;Alternate Configuration A : Configured for longer range combat, the A configuration mounted a [[Gauss rifle]] in its right arm alongside a left-torso-mounted [[LRM-10]]. The ''Karhu'' A was not deficient at short-range either, carrying a [[Large Pulse Laser]], ER Medium Laser and [[Micro Pulse Laser]] in its right arm. Two tons of Gauss and one ton of LRM reloads give the A reasonable endurance, while five standard Jump Jets enhance its ability to withdraw.

Carrying four tons of autocannon ammo and an extra two double heat sinks, the addition of a [[Targeting Computer]] and Jump Jets made the B configuration a deadly city fighter.

Including Jump Jets like most other configurations, the C carried a ton of reloads for each [[Ultra Autocannon]].

Packed with advanced electronics, a Targeting Computer enhanced its weaponry alongside an [[Active Probe]] and [[ECM Suite]] in its right torso. Protected by a pair of [[anti-missile system]]s, four extra double heat sinks were added to prevent the 'Mech's single ton of AMS and [[Streak Missile Launcher|streak]] reloads from exploding.

It has a 150 meter jump capability as well, making it very hard to hit. Offensively, it carries a single [[Improved Heavy Large Laser]], supported by three ER Medium Lasers and four [[Streak SRM-4]]s. To call in artillery support, it carries a [[Light TAG]] in the left arm.

Carrying two tons of reloads for the plasma rifle, to enhance his effectiveness with the rest of his [[Lance]], Syngman's 'Mech also mounted an IS-standard [[Beagle Active Probe]], [[Guardian ECM Suite]] and [[C3 slave]].
