==Description==
The first [[OmniMech]] both designed and built by the [[Lyran Alliance]]. The inspiration for the '''''Hauptmann''''' is drawn from the ''[[Dire Wolf (Daishi)|Daishi]]'' OmniMech used by the [[Clans]]. Using information from captured ''Daishi''s and data gleaned from the construction of the ''[[Firestarter Omni|Firestarter]]'' OmniMech, which was shared by the [[Draconis Combine]], the end result is a powerful OmniMech capable of defending itself in most combat situations. The ''Hauptmann'' is built on a standard chassis and powered by a 285 [[fusion engine]], adding to the 'Mech's durability as it cannot be killed by a side torso loss. The ''Hauptmann'' has eleven [[double heat sink]]s fixed on the chassis and can add more if needed in its various configurations. For protection, the ''Hauptmann'' carries eighteen and a half tons of armor and has [[CASE]] fixed in the right torso to protect against an ammunition explosion.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The primary configuration carries a varied and powerful arsenal. For long range combat, the ''Hauptmann'' carries two [[ER Large Laser]]s as its primary long range weapons. These give the ''Hauptmann'' Prime a good long range damage capability. For close combat, the 'Mech has an [[LB-X Autocannon/20]] for devastating close range firepower backed up by two [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s, an [[ER Small Laser]], and a pair of [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers. Finally, to protect the 'Mech against enemy electronic warfare systems, the ''Hauptmann'' Prime has a [[Guardian ECM Suite]].

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : Intended for close combat, the ''Hauptmann'' A is armed with four [[ER Medium Laser]]s as its primary short-ranged weapons with a pair of [[SRM-6]] launchers linked to an [[Artemis IV]] fire control system for increased missile accuracy. For increased mobility, the ''Hauptmann'' A has three [[jump jet]]s that allow the 'Mech to jump up to ninety meters. Finally, to defend itself if it ends up in a long-range firefight, the Alpha configuration mounts a [[Gauss rifle]]. To handle the massive heat load, it carries an additional six double heat sinks.<ref name=TRJp176f /> BV (1.0) = 2,172<ref name=COp132/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060'', p. 231</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,311<ref name=TRJp176f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 191</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration B : Configured for both long- and short-range engagements, the B configuration of the ''Hauptmann'' has a pair of [[ER PPC]]s which give it the capability to engage an enemy at long ranges. For close combat, the 'Mech has three Medium Pulse Lasers and a devastatingly powerful [[Ultra Autocannon/20]]. To handle the high heat generated from its weapons, the B configuration has five additional double heat sinks.<ref name=TRJp176f /> BV (1.0) = 1,662<ref name=COp132/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060'', p. 232</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,208<ref name=TRJp176f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 192</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration C : The C configuration of the ''Hauptmann'' is intended to close with its enemies and wear them down as it approaches, delivering the killing blow at short range. For long range combat, the ''Hauptmann'' C carries an [[LRM-20]] launcher linked to an Artemis IV fire control system to increase the accuracy of its missiles. For close combat, the ''Hauptmann'' C has a massive [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]]. This is supported by two ER Medium Lasers, an ER Small Laser, and a Medium Pulse Laser. This configuration of the ''Hauptmann'' has an additional two double heat sinks and a Guardian ECM Suite to protect itself from enemy electronic warfare systems. BV (1.0) = 2,122<ref name=COp132/>, BV (2.0) = 2,322<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 193</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration D : The D configuration was developed during the [[Jihad]] to take on the Command Unit role.  This configuration fitted a [[C3 master computer]] and a [[Targeting Computer]] in the ''Hauptmann's'' left torso.  For ranged attacks this configuration has a [[Heavy PPC]] and [[Gauss rifle]] with a single ton of ammunition. Complementing these weapons are a pair of [[Rocket Launcher 10|10-Tubed Rocket Launchers]] mounted in each of the 'Mech's arms.  The 'Mech's only secondary weaponry is a pair of [[ER Medium Lasers]].  BV (2.0) = 2,359<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 194 - Hauptmann's D configuration developed during the Jihad.</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration E : The E Configuration was, like the D configuration, developed during the Jihad. It was designed to use a large quantity of range-weaponry as its primary focus. The ''Hauptmann's'' right arm is fitted with a [[Gauss rifle]] with 2 tons of ammunition mounted in that section. In the left arm, a [[plasma rifle]] has been fitted.  Both arms have their lower arm actuators removed to allow for the pilot to flip arms. The plasma rifle's 2 tons of ammunition are stored in the left arm and in the left torso. The 'Mech's only secondary weapons are a pair of [[MML-5|5-Tubed Multi-Missile Launchers]] mounted in each side torso. The ''Hauptmann'' has been given 3 tons of [[CASE]] protected ammunition for the missile weaponry. BV (2.0) = 2,298<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 195 - Hauptmann OmniMech's E Configuration from RS3060u.</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration F : The F configuration carries an [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]], a [[Heavy PPC]] and three [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]]s. An [[Angel ECM Suite]] disrupts enemy communications, and the Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle is protected by [[CASE II]]. BV (2.0) = 2,484<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 186</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration M : The ''Hauptmann-M'' configuration is equipped with a [[Clan]]-spec [[ER PPC]]. This is supplemented by three [[LRM-15]] launchers. This long-range weaponry is a good choice as the M configuration carries a [[C3 boosted master]] computer into combat. BV (2.0) = 2,214<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 187</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration T : This configuration carries a Clan-spec [[Ultra AC/20]] in each side torso. Each AC has three tons of ammunition. Each arm carries a single [[TSEMP Cannon]]. The left torso is protected by CASE II, while the right torso is protected by [[CASE]]. BV (2.0) = 3,031<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 188</ref>

==Design Quirks==
The ''Hauptmann'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 92 BattleMech Quirk Table -Hauptmann Entry.</ref>
* [[Easy to  Maintain]]
* [[Extended Torso Twist]]

==Related OmniMechs==
*''[[Dire Wolf (Daishi)|Daishi]]'' - The first OmniMech designed by the [[Lyran Alliance]], the ''Hauptmann'' was based on captured ''Daishi'' Clan OmniMechs, with further Omni technological expertise coming from the Alliance's experience with the Combine-designed ''[[Firestarter (OmniMech)|Firestarter]]'' OmniMech.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 128</ref>
*''[[Regent]]'' - This [[Clan Sea Fox]] design is a hybrid of the ''Hauptmann'' and [[Technicron Manufacturing]]'s ''[[Awesome]]''.<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 21'', p. 10</ref>
