Overview:
       After analyzing the results of the Raptor's manufacturing and
   operational tests, the DCMS authorized production of a full line of
   Inner Sphere OmniMechs. The first Omni off the line was a simple copy
   of the Clan Black Hawk. The second was an improved version of the
   Jenner, which the DCMS christened the Owens. Unlike many Kurita
   ’Mechs, whose names come from their appearance, the Owens takes its
   name from its primary mission: the traditional cavalry role of
   screening and reconnaissance. The name comes from a Terran drinking
   song titled Gray Owens, a tune traditionally associated with cavalry
   units. It is interesting to note that the Draconis Combine, whose
   culture derives from the Oriental societies of Earth, found
   inspiration for the name of its new light OmniMech in a Western
   ditty.

Capabilities:
       The Owens represents design modifications and other changes based
   on reports of the experiences of DCMS troops operating the Raptor.
   The modular weapon containers were standardized and perfected for the
   Owens so that the weapons could operate with all future OmniMech
   designs. An interesting feature of the Owens is the amount of
   electronics it carries; the ’Mech has internal C3 networks, Beagle
   active probes, and TAG gear. This array indicates that the DCMS sees
   the Owens primarily as a recon ’Mech capable of finding and fixing
   the enemy with indirect fire from supporting elements while the main
   body moves against the enemy’s flank. The primary configuration uses
   small and medium lasers for self-defense, while LRM racks on the
   ’Mech’s arms offer suppressive fire in indirect support of other
   units in the lance or company. Most of the other configurations carry
   assorted short-range weapons of incredible accuracy, though one
   version also mounts a heavy laser. The Owens rarely engages and
   destroys the enemy directly; instead, it uses its targeting and
   communications systems to assist heavier units in performing that
   task.

Deployment:
       The DCMS began deploying the Owens in 3056. Most front-line
   regiments currently have at least a lance of these versatile
   machines, and many have an entire company of Owenses. Some Owens are
   reportedly being tested by the armies of the other Successor States,
   but none have yet appeared in great numbers.
