This is a Clan Mech from the Shadows' universe, though it would fit well in the canon too. The fluff tells the story. Enjoy.

==Overview:==
"As Shesha shelters Vishnu, this Naga shelters our Touman." - Phelan Kell.
It took the Clans many years to realize that the invasion of the Inner Sphere
was a bottomless pit swallowing their resources. And even when they realized
the ugly reality, it still took several more years for them to admit it.
No one realized the waste more than Clan Wolf. Having been divided and
conquered, then born again under Phelan Kell's leadership, it became
imperative for the wounded Wolves to eliminate as much waste as practical from
their Touman. Waste of both materiel, and of lives.
When Phelan Kell issued his mandate for new standards of efficiency, the first
target for many pointing fingers was the Naga OmniMech. As a dedicated
artillery unit, its very existence was a waste to most trueborn warriors. Yet
its abilities, derided as they were, were a necessary evil in the honorless
environment of the Inner Sphere.
An engineering analysis by the Wolves' scientist and technician castes started
with the warriors' established opinion that the Naga was a waste as an
OmniMech. Why bother reconfiguring an honorless weapon? Especially one with
such a specialized role? The changes between models were minor at best, and
only created arguments among the unlucky warriors assigned to drive it.
So the scientists and technicians scrapped the Naga's Omni abilities, and that
led to a surprise. By downsizing to eliminate the Omni pod space and removing
one heatsink for better efficiency, it was possible to duplicate the Naga's
primary configuration with a Mech that was 25% lighter and required 40% less
resources to build!
In the Clan tradition of naming designs from old Hindu mythology, and
recognizing that the new design was a "Naga that shed its skin" as one
scientist said, Phelan Kell named it the Shesha, after the eternal naga who
spreads his hood as shelter for the god Vishnu. The symbolism is not lost on
Clan Wolf, as the Shesha's fire support lends "shelter" to its warriors in
battle.
