The Inner Sphere's first brush with an OmniMech was with a Mad Cat on The Rock, Oberon Confederation, 13 August 3049. It was from a broadcast by a member of the Kell Hounds mercenary unit that Our Blessed Order learned of these machines and their mysterious masters. ComStar named this design the Mad Cat because its hunched-over torso is common to both the Marauder and Catapult. The Mad Cat is an exceptional combination of an XL Class engine, Endo Steel internal structure, Ferro-Fibrous armor, and double heat sinks.

Descartin's modified custom Timber Wolf is a deadly extended range combat mech.
Two ER PPCs enable this mech to savage enemies at long range, while a devastating array of 6 ER medium lasers await to pummel any enemy that dares to close in through the PPC storm.
An anti-missile system is placed almost as an afterthought, but it has proven crucial to the mech surviving long range missile attacks.
Five jumpjets mounted in pods give the Timber Wolf a 150 meter jump range, further emphasizing its role as a fast and mobile long range fighter.

Star Captain Descartin
Star Captain Descartin is a ristar in Clan Nova Cat, and is likely to be at the forefront of any offensives in the Inner Sphere. He is currently with the 449th Assault Cluster, also known as Joys and Sorrows.

The Mad Cat is the favorite 'Mech of the Wolf Clan. It can claim a large share of the credit for the Wolves' great successes and there is no apparent explanation why it appears in only moderate numbers with the other Clans.
