One of the most memorable and unique [[Combat Vehicle]]s of the [[Star League era]], the '''Kanga''' was the first combat vehicle to mount [[Jump Jet]]s.<ref name=TRO2750>''Technical Readout: 2750'', pp. 100–101: "Kanga Hovertank Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050R>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 206–207: "Kanga Hover Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050U>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', pp. 166–167: "Kanga Jump Tank Profile"</ref>

The ability to jump was one of the advantages long retained by the [[BattleMech]], but in the mid-[[2650]]s [[SLDF]] Vehicle Corps [[General]] [[Alvarez Mitchell|Alvarez "Bull" Mitchell]] attempted to overcome this hurdle. The general's family ties to the mammoth [[Mitchell Vehicles]] of [[Graham IV]] ensured that his ideas were developed into prototypes. Unable to solve the complex balance issues caused by the jump jets the company turned to the [[Nirasaki Computers Collective]] for assistance who responded with the AL2200 Track-Nav AI computer, an advanced system which basically controlled every aspect of the Mitchell JB Thrust Bottle jets from takeoff to landing, resulting in an efficient and deadly [[hovertank]].<ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><ref name=TRO3050U/>

Like many highly advanced designs, the loss of both Mitchell Vehicles and Nirasaki to the unbridled destruction of the [[Amaris Coup]] and the [[First Succession War]] doomed the Kanga, and by the [[Second Succession War]] virtually none survived outside [[ComStar]]'s [[Terra]]n stockpiles or [[Brian Cache]]s of the [[Clan Homeworlds]]. The vehicle's fate has improved in the modern era. While the fighting of the [[Jihad]] resulted in the destruction of the last of Kangas still operational in the [[Inner Sphere]], the desperation of the age led to the Kanga being reintroduced and upgraded by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] as a precursor to a program of developing new jump-capable vehicles.<ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><ref name=TRO3050U/>
