When the Federated commonwealth was in full swing, the NAIS utilised several Lyran designs as test beds, one of which was the ancient Ymir.
During the fires of the Jihad, they put the mech in service with advanced NAIS researched tech. Keeping its original profile relatively intact, the developed a solid assault mech that has much more fire power than its predecessor.
The main changes were the inclusion of a lyran sourced light engine and an NAIS Special targetting computer tied to the NAIS special rotary auto cannon 5. An ER Large and Medium laser fill out the remaining laser weaponry, and 4 MML 3's complement the weaponry load (with 2 tons of CASE II protected ammo).
Initial combat reports indicated it performed fairly well, being quick for an assault mech meant it was able to get close and utilise its weapon load.
Rumour has it that kallon industries has won a contract to build these and a more energy based version for mercenary interests...

And the BWP-K4
Kallon engineers wanted less reliance on resupply worries, so in the end they stripped out the MML3's and RAC, for a plasma rifle and 6 medium pulse lasers.
This ended up making the targeting computer larger, but when combined with the fire power this mech has it makes it devastatingly accurate. An additional double heat sink was added and half a ton of armour shaved off to fit a guardian ECM. The Gyro was also switched out for a standard model to allow for easier repairs in the field.

An additional model came to fruition from head hunter kill teams. Utlising 2 less heat sinks but packing 3 er medium lasers, and a gauss rifle and asnub nosed ppc. tied to a targeting computer this mech is a brutal combo of fire power and finesse.
