Upon gifting Julian the 'Mech, Devlin Stone warned him that keeping the machine in fighting trim was "a nightmare." Several Ares 'Mechs were deployed to Callison in 3149. Ī single Ares of uncertain configuration saw deployment in 3146 as part of Julian Davion's Dawn Guards. Additional production was planned for Mars, with the facilities on Devil's Rock set to be razed should invasion forces arrive on world. By 3145, the location of the factory had become a frontline world in danger of falling to a potential Clan Wolf invasion. Production of the 'Mech and its sister design, the Poseidon, continued on Devil's Rock at Rhodes Foundry. During the 3140s, the Ares had been deployed to various worlds neighboring the Republic's in covert raids and recon missions as part of the nation's efforts to keep potential invaders off guard. The Ares' origins were virtually unknown during its initial deployment with the Republic's Stone's Brigades and units stationed at its factory world on Devil's Rock. The Ares' appearance is due, in part, to its development cycle, which took place at nearly the same time as that of the Poseidon. The 'Mech's development began as Poseidon prototypes finished their trial runs in 3135. The 'Mech was conceived as an OmniMech, to allow it to be easier for its maintenance crew to service it and allow it to transport battle armor support elements.
Produced in secret as part of the Republic's Rhodes Project, the Ares was based on development of the Poseidon Superheavy Tripod. The Ares is a Superheavy Class Tripod OmniMech, which was first produced by the Republic of the Sphere.
