==Overview:==
In 3074, following a devastating Word of Blake attack on
Radstadt, the Ghost Bear Clan suddenly and overwhelmingly launched
a no-holds-barred assault against the Word of Blake forces
operating within the Draconis Combine, hitting the Woed-occupied
worlds of Lthien and Pesht with a Galaxy of troops each.
Demonstrating a brutality in combat scarcely matched by the Word
itself, the Bear forces have left few survivors intheir wake,
going so far as to execute warriors trapped in their own downed
cockpits. The sheer volume of troops committed to this new
campaign has been massive, with intelligence agencies and
observers in the Combine and elsewhere estimating that no less
than fiftypercent of the Bears' entire Touman is on the move.
Given the further evidence that the Clan Occupation Zones
have experienced a major upheaval, expert analysis has suggested
that this extreme deployment has left the Bears' Dominion even
more vulnerable to attack. However, recent findings - including
revelations of several new 'Mech and battle armor designs
currently undergoing widespread deployment - have shown that not
only have the Bears seen to the security of their hard-won worlds,
they have ensured that the defenders are well equipped.
The Rogue Bear heavy battlesuit was first spotted in Ghost
Bear garrisons in December 3073. Though it is lighter than the
Golem, the Rogue Bear, with its torso-mounted missiles and twin
arm-mounted machine guns, is clearly patterned on the Golem - so
much so that initial reports confused the two designs, especially
after the Hell's Horses recent debut of a more mobile Fast Assault
Golem variant. Careful analysis, however, soon revealed that the
Rogue Bear was a completely new model, engineered along similar
lines, but built lighter and with a different focus in mind.
==Capabilities:==
Where the Golem is a hulking monster best suited to heavy
assault formations or defensive operations, the Rogue Bear is a
rapid responder for a battlesuit its size. At the same time, its
weapons load and armor design appear far less sophisticated than
those of the Golem, underscoring the notion that this suit is not
meant so much to serve as a shock troop as it is a secondary
supporting element. Slow overland but capable of sixty-meter jumps
under terrestrial gravity, the Rogue Bear carries only three
hundred kilograms of standard armor - merely twenty percent more
than a standard Elemental. Its primary weapons consist of a
four-shot, three-tube SRM launcher hardwired to its backand an
antipersonnel machine gun in each arm. The missile launcher's
hard-mounted nature make this suit bulky even under optimum
conditions, but this feature suggests a pressing need to discard
as little as possible, even in combat. Meanwhile, for ultra-close
combat (as well as the ability to mount up on Omni units for fast
transport), the Rogue Bear use vibro-blade-enhanced battle claw
manipulators.
==Notable Battle Armor & Warriors:==
Point Commander Igmar:
Born on Tukayyid in 3051, Igmar Ohlson lived under the specter of
the Clan invasion and ComStar overwatch for practically his entire
life. Raised in the shattered, post-Invasion Republic, Ohlson
adopted many of the common Rasalhagian attitudes toward
mercenaries and the Clan Invaders, as well as a general distrust
toward all outsiders. Coming of age at the onset of the Jihad,
Ohlson quickly developed a new hatred for the Word of Blake after
the Blakist troops sacked his homeworld, and he laid some of that
blame on ComStar as well. In 3068, he joined the KungsArmé with
dreams of driving the Word and ComStar out of his realm forever,
and his raw physical strength and aptitudes won him a place in the
battle armor corps and an eventual assignment to the First Tyr.
When the Ghost Bears later came to ``liberate`` Tukayyid and
simultaneously presented an offer of alliance with the Rasalhague
Republic, Ohlson was one of many Rasalhagians who found themselves
conflicted and angry. Despite thi, he swore his loyalty to the
Republic and his people, which - to him - included those living
under the Bears' Dominion. In early 3074, the first Tyr was called
upon to help purge a Blakist terror cell on Radstadt that turnrd
out to be the 43rd Shadow Division. As one of the few survivors of
the devastating battle, Ohlson's heroic actions in covering a
fighting withdrawal by Rasalhagian and Ghost Bears troops won him
a Trial of Position for the rank of PointCommander and a Rogue
Bear battlesuit - fresh from the factory - to replace the Kobold
he lost on Radstadt.
==Deployment==
Unlike other newly developed units joining the Ghost Bears'
Touman, the Rogue Bear has not appeared among the commands
engaging the Word of Blake. Instead , this armor - still in
limited numbers - has turned up among a few second-line Clusters
staged across the Ghost Bear Dominion, including the recently
activated First Tyr Assault Cluster stationed on the former Free
Rasalhague Republic capital of Orestes. This is particularly
striking considering that the First Tyr is primary manned br
ethnic Rasalhagians and was formerly known as the First Tyr
Regiment before the Ghost Bears annexed the remains of the
Republic. After the former KungsArmé command - then undergoing
retraining in Clan-style organization and tactics - narrowly
avoided destruction during the brutal fighting on Radstadt in
3074, the Bears apparently chose to reward these abtakha troops
with the first run of Rogue Bear suits and other Clan equipment.
