Overview:
Little more than a gutted shell, the remnants of Kerensky's 'Mech lay untouched for some two
centuries, until it was recovered by a Kuritan exploration mission on the system led by
Florimel Kurita at some point during the Third Succession War,prior to 3018.
With the LosTech decline of the Succession Wars era preventing them from replicating
Kerensky's unique loadout, which they were probably unaware of, House Kurita technicians
(with the help of equipment procured from a Free Worlds League factory said to be the only
one at the time still producing Orions) instead restored the 'Mech as a more mundane ON1-K
variant, bestowed by Florimel Kurita as a gift to the young Theodore Kurita upon his
graduation on 18 May 3018.
Theodore Kurita for his part was honored to receive the 'Mech that had originally belonged
to the legendary General Kerensky, and named it Revenant. He even researched the original
paint scheme in order to restore it and, after authenticating it, applied the dark olive
paint himself, only exchanging the Star League markings for those of the Draconis Combine.
The outbreak of the Fourth Succession War found Theodore Kurita in command of the Legion of
Vega on Marfik with his 'Mech, where a Lyran Commonwealth invasion specifically sought to
capture the Kurita prince. Eventually, he opted to switch 'Mechs with his subordinate Sho-sa
Esau Olivares and escaped on the DropShip Arctic Fox with Olivares's Victor in late
September 3028. Piloting the Revenant in Kurita's stead, Olivares meanwhile led Kathleen
Heany's forces on a merry chase as a diversion, until the 'Mech was finally destroyed in an
artillery barrage on or shortly after 27 September 3028.
Capabilities:
Starting out as a standard Star League era ONI-1K model, Kerensky's Orion initially mounted
an Armstrong Class 10 Autocannon, Harpoon-15 LRM launcher, two Starfish medium lasers and a
Holly 4 SRM Launcher. Frequent tinkering and upgrades led to substantial modification over
its service life.
One of the most notable modifications saw the removal of the LRM-15 launcher and
Autocannon/10 to add an experimental Snub-Nose PPC in the left torso and an Artemis IV Fire
Control System for the SRMs. Fitted in a gimbal mounting controlled by myomer bundles, the
Snub-Nose PPC could be skewed by Kerensky toward the centerline of the 'Mech to deliver
precision fire at point-blank range. After extensive structural reinforcement, the right
torso was fitted with a Gauss rifle in the former location of the autocannon. The medium
lasers from the original model were retained. Finally, ferro-fibrous armor and CASE were
used for added protection for the SRM reloads and against Gauss rifle detonation.
These and other upgrades paled in comparison to the extensive changes Kerensky had had made
in the cockpit, with a custom Studebaker-T19 command and control interface wrapped around
the Orion's standard SLDF command couch and Neurohelmet system. A masterful system only
possible during the height of the Star League, the S-T19 included "smart-assist" software
capable of automatically identifying and bringing forward communications and tactical
displays to assist Kerensky in determining when a particular combat command needed strategic
guidance or needed his attention. However, the brutal fighting against the forces of Stefan
Amaris eventually meant the S-T19 system could no longer function without crashing the
'Mech's control systems. This was a key factor in Kerensky's decision to order the 'Mech be
abandoned.
With Kurita technicians unable to replicate the advanced and experimental systems it once
mounted, when restoring it Theodore Kurita they did so as the Succession War era standard
ON1-K variant. The Revenant would mount a KaliYama Class 10 Autocannon/10, KaliYama Death
Bloom LRM-15 launcher, two Irian Weapons Works medium lasers and a Irian Weapons Works SRM-4
launcher.
