================================================================================================
Overview:
The Roaring Beast was manufactured just before the Clan Invasion on Tokasha for Clan Ghost
Bear, with production rights soon after being acquired by Clan Jade Falcon in a Trial of
Possession. Its true baptism by fire would be Operation REVIVAL itself, where it would earn
the codename "Tonfa" for its arm weapon mounts from the Free Rasalhague Republic's first
encounters with it.
The Z-model was created by the Scientist Caste rebellion known as the Society as an
easy-to-use frontline combatant augmented by their dezgra technology. Naturally, it
went extinct when they were crushed.
Capabilities:
DESIGN QUIRKS: Battlefists (LA/RA), Combat Computer, Easy to Pilot, Cramped Cockpit, Exposed
Actuators
Deployment:
Both the Federated Commonwealth and the Free Rasalhague Republic had to contend with the
Tonfa during the Clan Invasion, appearing in the Jade Falcon and Ghost Bear corridors
respectively. It would later become a mainstay of the Ghost Bear (later Rasalhague)
Dominion's touman.
