Overview:
    While the Grand Summoner would be perhaps the most important heavy mech of the Jade Falcon
    touman during their assault on Terra, proposals for a more mobile replacement adopting the
    style the clan had begun to adopt in the mid 3100's were circulating among the scientist
    caste of Clan Jade Falcon. While the Jade Hawk was a step in the right direction, the desire
    for an omnimech was pressing hard. Shortly before the touman would leave for Terra, the
    Sudeten factories were hard at work at a prototype mech that would bring the Inner Sphere
    under the control of Chingis Khan. The Cassowary is designed to be an aggressive and mobile
    successor to many older omni-mechs in the Jade Falcon touman. Using an endo steel frame and
    partial wings, the omnimech also has jump jets built into the frame. Capable of reaching 86
    KPH on land through using a 325 XL engine, ten double heat sinks are built into the engine
    to give the battlemech a total of 23 tons of pod space. With an acceptable 11 tons of clan
    standard armored plating, the Cassowary is meant to occupy a variety of roles in the touman.
