In 2854, Clan Coyote introduced the first Omni-Mechs. In 2858, Clan Wolverine shocked the other clans by announcing that their crash development program had independantly cracked the problem, and a second Omni-Mech would soon be joining their Toumen. Clan Coyote charged Wolverine with unclanlike behavior, and the new IlKhan had to mediate a situation that threatened to become a brawl in the midst of a council. The Wolverines were able to produce evidence of highly independent work, especially in their alternate pod-designs, which proved to be incompatible with the Coyote technology and use completely different standardized plugins. However, this resulted in two competing Omnimech standards, which would not be settled for 30 years. Clan Wolverine's Mercury IIIC represented a direct thumb up the nose of the Coyotes, identical in weight and speed to their design. Unlike the Coyotes, who kept their technology in a vice-grip, the Wolverines simply let anyone who wanted to buy it know that they maintained deep-code lockouts they would use to prevent their technology being turned against them in major Trials. By 3000 however, the design was deeply out of fashion, even with refits to modern Omnimech standards, and Clan Wolverine shuttered the production line to divert it towards other more modern designs.

Overview:
The first Omnimech of Clan Wolverine, the Mercury IIIC represents not the main
line of Coyotl Onmimech technology, but a divergent and independantly developed
line of technology that nearly snarled the Omnimech concept. For 30 years,
Omnipods from Mercury-Derived designs were incompatible with Coyotl designs.
By the late 2880s, the Clan Concil forced adoption of the Coyote-standards for
all omnipods, and granted Clan Wolverine exclusive settlement and development
rights to the planet Koshmarnyy Son, a venus-like planet orbiting the same star
as Stranta Mechty, whose hellish atmosphere and violent tectonics were paired
with a wealth of heavy industrial materials.

In keeping with the tradition of the Mercury IIIC of producing their own mechs in-house rather than taking designs from other clans, the success of the Timber Wolf caught the attention of the Wolverines and sparked a renewel of the ancient Wolverine-Wolf rivalry. Though the Wolverines were ostensibly an allied Warden clan, the two clans frequently struggled while the Wolverines gathered data for their new Megalictis (an extinct wolverine relative about twice the size of their totem animal.) To ward off a full-scale war, the Wolverines added a MASC system to the base chasis, and the two clans settled back down to their normal background blood-feud.
