          by Primus BuS | ||||||
| The 
          Raptor is one of the first homegrown Inner Sphere OmniMechs. Many in 
          the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery consider the Raptor, classified 
          as a light Mech, a "proof of concept" Mech rather 
          than a fully operational design. The Luthien Armor Works engineers began 
          to reverse-engineer Clan OmniMech technology as soon as they received 
          it from the units that conquered Wolcott, but many of the Clan improvements 
          were beyond the technological abilities of the Combine at that point. 
          The modular weapon concept that gives the Clans their incredible tactical 
          flexibility, however, was not beyond their reach. The Raptor is built 
          around a massive weapons bay that is very similar in shape to a Clan 
          Vulture missile pod.  | ||||||
