The '''''Men Shen''''' is the first [[OmniMech]] to come from the [[Capellan Confederation]], and it borrows heavily from the ''[[Raven]]'' [[BattleMech]] for its basic design concept. <ref name=TRO3060p102/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Men Shen'' is built on a lightweight [[endo steel]] chassis and is powered by a vulnerable, but light, 330-rated [[XL engine]] that gives it a running speed of 97.2 km/h, which is augmented by a [[MASC]] system that allows the 'Mech to be pushed up to 129.6 km/h in short bursts. The ''Men Shen'' is sheathed in 11 tons of armor, giving it a respectable amount of protection, and mounts a fixed [[Beagle active probe]] on its base chassis, allowing it to serve in a recon role regardless of its configuration. For additional weapons and equipment the ''Men Shen'' has 17 tons of free [[pod space]].<ref name=TRO3060p102/>

In its Primary configuration the ''Men Shen'' is a powerful close combat 'Mech and is capable of providing indirect fire support to friendly units. For close-range combat, the primary configuration has four highly accurate [[medium pulse laser]]s. To provide both direct and indirect long range fire support, the primary configuration of the ''Men Shen'' has an [[LRM-15]] launcher with an [[Artemis IV]] fire control system for increased missile accuracy.<ref name=TRO3060p102/>
