Overview: Clan Wolf military boasts one of the few OmniMechs designed solely to take advantage of the Arrow IV artillery missile system. The Naga was developed more than a hundred years ago from the Woodsman, the precursor to today's Gargoyle. Designers extended the Woodsman's torso to encompass two Arrow missile systems. The wide, sweeping curve of the new torso so reminded warriors of a cobra hood that they nicknamed the new OmniMech Naga, for a particularly venomous cobra from ancient myth. Capabilities: The Naga was developed to deliver a sustained barrage of artillery missiles. The OmniMech's standard configuration best fulfills this mission by carrying six tons of missiles, assuring that it will be able to support its Cluster mates through all but the longest battle. However, the standard configuration Naga is the most defenseless in a short-range battle, with only three ER Small Lasers to ward off any enemy that manages to close. All the alternate configurations give the Naga pilot more short-range protection. Alternate Configuration A sacrifices one ton of missiles to gain two ER Medium-Range Lasers and a ER Short-Range Laser. Alternate Configuration B carries only four tons of missiles, but packs one small and three ER Medium Lasers. Alternate Configuration C uses a six stack of Short-Range Missiles as its primary weapon against the approach of fast-moving enemies. Alternate Configuration D is similar to C, but uses only an SRM-4 missile system and adds an ER Medium Laser to its ER Small Laser. Alternate Configuration D is the version of the Naga most favored among pilots, because they feel it gives them the best protection. However, most Naga pilots are allowed to take only the standard configuration into battle. Deployment: Nagas appear almost exclusively in Wolf Galaxy artillery stars and seldom see action because of the nature of the bidding process. However, individual Nagas may accompany frontline OmniMechs into battle, and a few saw combat during the Wolf invasion of the Free Rasalhague Republic. Because the Naga serves mainly as artillery support, most warriors shun it, leaving it to aging veterans or freebirth warriors. This disdain is one of the reasons Naga pilots are seldom allowed to outfit their OmniMechs as they want, forced to pilot the near-defenseless standard version. Piloting a Naga brings no honor to the warrior, and reconfiguring an honorless weapon goes beyond a waste of time and materiel. Some reports state that Clan Wolf warriors at times deliberately left their accompanying Nagas unprotected to face Inner Sphere 'Mechs alone. It is a testament to the skill of the MechWarriors piloting the inferior Nagas that most survived those encounters.
