The visual design and name of this BattleMech have led to some debate among Republic analysts. Even for a light ’Mech it is unusually short and squat, with a rather baroque armor design. Indeed, the first pictures smuggled out of the Horses occupation zone lacked a proper sense of scale, leading some to hypothesize that it was a ProtoMech. While this has been disproven, its name—Hebrew for cavalryman—has been a hot topic of discussion. Combined with the Jihad-era Svantovit IFV variant named Masada, it would appear that the “tank Clan” has taken to Jewish history and language. The why of this trend is as of yet unclear.
