"Kalidasa is back in League hands". Bitterly fought over and wrenched from the wolves jaws Kalidasa and its mech production facilities are back under FWL control. Eager to put the production facilities back on line and with dire needs for new equipment the FWL government pressed for the production of sturdy mechs that could be produced if possible in large numbers to fill the ranks of the FWLM formations. The venerable Orion holds a special place both in the hearts of Clan Wolf, as with the FWL being the steed of one General Alexander Kerensky, as also a mainstay of the League military in the succession wars. As bot a gesture of spite against the former wolf occupiers and a symbol of league defiance and tenacity against all ods Kali Yama produced the ON9-M. A design with its roots in the original ON1-K Kerensky variant the new ON9-M uses an ERPPC and a gauss rifle for a long range ballistic punch. Two x-pulse lasers in the arms can engage any targets up close with accuracy. A single medium laser in the head complements the short range energy weaponry. A single MML-5 launcher adds versatility to the weapons mix with both short and long range offencive capabilities. half a ton short of the maximum possible armor mass offers excellent protection to the standard fusion engine mech. All explosive ammunition and equippment can is located under CASE II blow out panels. Though the machine fields a cheap and durable motive system the designers had to resort to an XL Gyro in order to save some weight. Costing only 8.466.375 C-Bills the mech is relatively cheap, especially when compared to mixed tech or XL engine equipped units.
