Description

The Gray Death Standard battle armor was developed by the technicians of the Gray Death Legion after a number of battle armor suits were sent to the Legion for field testing. The standard jump pack is removed, however reinforced myomer bundles enable the wearer to move at speeds of up to 32 kph. Other modifications include improved sensors and an anti-personnel weapon mount. These changes made it easier to maintain and produce than the original prototype (which became known as the Inner Sphere Standard).

The new armor debuted in battle against Clan Jade Falcon on Pandora during the original Clan invasion. The battle armor had a decisive role in the Gray Death Legion's victory over the Falcons.

A number of suits were sold to mercenary units and the LAAF, though most were kept within the Legion to replace losses.

After the Legion's destruction on Hesperus II, construction of the suit continued on Glengarry, courtesy of Gray Death Technologies, a company founded by surviving members of the Legion's support staff.

Armament

The battle armor retains the modular weapon mount of the Inner Sphere Standard, allowing it to carry a launcher that fires a single SRM with three reloads, Flamer, Small Laser, Machine Gun, or a light recoilless rifle.
