The '''''Ostrogoth''''' is a [[Jihad|late Jihad era]] heavy [[OmniFighter]] and was designed primarily for the role of an interceptor. Created by [[Clan Ghost Bear]], it was produced at the Clan's [[Tseng Facility|Tseng Facilities]] on [[Alshain]] in the late 3070s and was intended as a replacement design for fighters lost during the war. Due to high pilot losses, the Ghost Bears had the design incorporate better protection as well as better handling. <ref name="TRO:3085p182+"/>

Combat units first received the ''Ostrogoth'' in late 3078, where it was sent to units slated to participate in the campaign against the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]. The ''Ostrogoth'' was deployed in medium fighter [[Star (Formation)|Stars]] where it was teamed with older and slower designs such as the ''[[Jengiz]]'', and used its higher maneuverability to surprise and overwhelm [[Word of Blake|Blakist]] fighters attempting use their own speed to overwhelm the slower units. After the war, the fighter's cost compared to the role it maintained was questioned by outside media sources. Despite these doubts, Clan Ghost Bear maintained production into the 3080s.<ref name="TRO:3085p182+"/>
