================================================================================================
Overview:
    A design intended to share the engine of the Arctic Wolf, the Akela Omnimech design is
    intended to supplement the second line forces of Clan Wolf-in-Exile. Named after a wise wolf
    from ancient Terran literature, it is Khan Phelan Kell's acknowledgement of the advice of
    his own father. Weighing in at 70 tons, featuring an endosteel frame with a Light Force
    280XL engine, the design incorporates many inner sphere sourced parts - namely the RCA Mark
    XII targeting system from the Archer. It is a clan design in every way that matters.
    Thirteen and a half tons of standard Royal-7 armor maximize the protection of the design.
    While slow by clan standards with a top speed of 64.8 km/h, it boasts a pod capacity that
    puts even the Hellbringer to shame. 39 tons of pod space comes out to over half the mech's
    weight, along with ten standard heat sinks.

Capabilities:
    The prime configuration of the Akela is a missile boat that puts many clan mechs to shame.
    Four LRM15 launchers with Artemis IV fire control systems are fed by six tons of ammunition,
    two launchers and three tons of ammunition placed in each side torso. An extended range
    large laser is placed in the center torso with an ECM system. A medium pulse laser is placed
    in each arm, along with actuators and a hand to allow the mech to be used in moving supplies
    and potentially in hand to hand combat in extreme situations. Six additional heat sinks keep
    the mech reasonably cool.
