The 80-ton Jengiz is one of the heaviest and fiercest fighters fielded by the Clans. Developed in 3032 by Clan Ghost Bear, it has seen active service for the last seven decades. A very powerful design, it has become a favored assault fighter wherever it is found.

         Because of its relatively poor maneuverability, the Jengiz has limited use in atmosphere, and is deployed mainly in near-space defense. In some cases its performance is worse than Inner Sphere fighters of similar mass, but pilots should be wary of misjudging the fighter, as it is heavily armored, dissipates heat easily, and has more than 50 percent of its body-weight devoted to offensive systems.
         The primary Jengiz carries a formidable array of weaponry. An LB 10-X, ER PPC, medium pulse laser, and machine gun are all crammed into the nose, while each wing mounts a large and medium pulse laser and an SRM6. Firing into the aft arc is a rear-wing medium pulse laser, and an ECM suite interferes with the effects of advanced fire-control computers.
         The A variant is the only one generally involved in ground attacks. The twin ER PPCs in the nose, and the twin large pulse lasers under each wing give it superb strafing ability, and the addition of double heat sinks allows repeated attack runs. An ER small laser fires aft to discourage tailing.
         The rare Jengiz B is configured to engage targets at long range. It carries a Gauss cannon in the nose, and has an ER PPC and LRM-20 (with Artemis FCS) under each wing. Two forward-firing ER medium-lasers are mounted in the nose to boost close-in firepower, and the rear of the fighter is equipped with a machine gun. Although the Gauss cannon carries sufficient ammunition for prolonged operations, the LRM-20 ammunition is severely limited. Running out of ammunition, Jengiz pilots often jettison the LRM pods part way through a battle, improving the fighter's maneuverability slightly.
         The C variant of the Jengiz is one of the most unusual configurations fielded by the Clans. Based on a philosophy different from most fighters, the C variant is believed to have evolved from the few Jengiz used by Clan Goliath Scorpion. An LB 20-X series autocannon is mounted under each wing, and a triple mount of Streak SRM-6 launchers are mounted in the nose. This version also carries an aft firing Streak SRM-4. If the Jengiz C has a disadvantage, it is the short range of its weapons. For that reason, the C is usually paired with another variant with longer-range capabilities.
         The post-Invasion D variant uses twin heavy large lasers in the nose, backed up by a twenty-tube LRM system. An extended-range large laser, medium laser, and a Streak SRM-6 in each wing provide impressive backup for the main weapons array, and a small laser gives the pilot some small feeling of having something to shoot at enemies tailing him, even if it is rarely effective. These are most often used in an anti-DropShip or anti-WarShip role where the powerful main cannons can be used to their best effect.

         The Rasalhague Dominion builds and fields the design as their primary assault fighter. Clan Wolf and the Snow Ravens succeeded in the Trials of Possession needed to secure the designs before the Jihad, and have used those to expand their AeroSpace forces. The Wolf's Dragoons "acquired" the designs from contacts in Clan Wolf that allowed them to begin building it in 3054. In the years since the Jihad, they have fought a formal trial with the Rasalhague Dominion for the rights to build the design and won. They also sell the design to trusted members of the Allied Mercenary Command, but they are rare outside the Dragoons and the Clans that use them.
