	It has been speculated that the name ''Waneta'' draws on ancient beliefs held by the native tribes that inhabited the region of Terra once known as the United States, and that the name may have been derived from a particular myth or range of mythology relating to tales of shapeshifters, but that has yet to be proven conclusively.<ref name="J:FRp159"/>		It has been speculated that the name ''Waneta'' draws on ancient beliefs held by the native tribes that inhabited the region of Terra once known as the United States, and that the name may have been derived from a particular myth or range of mythology relating to tales of shapeshifters, but that has yet to be proven conclusively.<ref name="J:FRp159"/>
−	The Blakists attempted to make the ''Waneta'' the most capable design of the three that made up the Spectral LAM series, although with only limited success; to improve mobility, the ''Waneta'' was fitted with [[Improved Jump Jet]]s, but carried only a single ton of fuel. The ''Waneta'' made use of [[VDNI]] pilots in [[small cockpit]]s, and carried standard [[Double Heat Sink]]s and an array of Clantech weaponry. Unfortunately for the design, while the Improved Jump Jets gave the ''Waneta'' a valuable boost to its speed in both hybrid and fighter modes, the weight of the Improved Jump Jets precluded other options such as larger fuel tanks, bomb bays or a larger weapons payload. While the ''Waneta'' was an improved dogfighter compared to the lighter ''[[Yurei]]'' design, it suffered from poor endurance due to the limited fuel payload and the eight rounds of ammunition carried for each LRM launcher; while a superior [[LAM]] design, the ''Waneta'' was effectively still a [[BattleMech]] playing at being an [[aerospace fighter]].<ref name="J:FRp159"/>	+	The Blakists attempted to make the ''Waneta'' the most capable design of the three that made up the Spectral LAM series, although with only limited success; to improve mobility, the ''Waneta'' was fitted with [[Improved Jump Jet]]s, but carried only a single ton of fuel.

With both manufacturing factories destroyed, those on Gibson by nuclear bombardment and those on Terra by combat damage and suspected sabotage, the ''Waneta'' became an extinct design to the best of anyone's knowledge when the Word of Blake fell in [[Extinction Era::3081]].<ref name="J:FRp159"/> It has been speculated that the name ''Waneta'' draws on ancient beliefs held by the native tribes that inhabited the region of Terra once known as the United States, and that the name may have been derived from a particular myth or range of mythology relating to tales of shapeshifters, but that has yet to be proven conclusively.<ref name="J:FRp159"/> The Blakists attempted to make the ''Waneta'' the most capable design of the three that made up the Spectral LAM series, although with only limited success; to improve mobility, the ''Waneta'' was fitted with [[Improved Jump Jet]]s, but carried only a single ton of fuel.

The ''Waneta's'' long-range weaponry consisted of a single ER Large Laser and two LRM 15 systems; augmenting this weapons array was a single ER Small Laser.<ref name="J:FRp159"/> ==Variants== * One variant of the ''Waneta'' was identified after the [[Jihad]] by studying footage from the [[Principality of Regulus]] campaign against the [[Periphery]] world of [[Circinus]], last stronghold of the Word of Blake leadership. The variant ''Waneta'' could be distinguished from the standard ''Waneta'' build by its slower acceleration, a result of the Improved Jump Jets having been removed to allow bomb bays to be fitted. These variant ''Waneta'' carried special ordnance during the battle for Circinus, from which none are known to have survived.<ref name="J:FRp159"/> ==Design Quirks== The ''Waneta'' has three [[Design Quirks]]: * [[Jettison-Capable Weapon]] (ER Large Laser) * [[Non-Standard Parts]] * [[Obsolete]]/[[3081]] <!-- ==Gallery== --> ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' [[Category: BattleMechs]] [[Category: Medium BattleMechs]] [[Category: 55 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category: Land-Air 'Mechs]] [[Category: Word of Blake BattleMechs]]
