'''Legality Rating''' is a code used in the [[MechWarrior_(RPG)|MechWarrior Role Playing Game]] indicating how controlled a class of [[:Category:Combat Vehicles|Combat]] [[:Category:Support Vehicles|Support Vehicles]], [['Mech]], (or other) mounted equipment, or subsystems found in the same.  Its primary function is to designate how much governments control public (and mercenary) access to the systems are in given regions in the [[BattleTech]] universe.  A similar system was used in the [[MechWarrior, Second Edition]] roleplaying game.
