==Description==
The '''Hauberk''' is a [[battle armor]] that was designed by some of the members of the [[New Avalon Cavaliers]] at the [[New Avalon Institute of Science]]. They wanted to take the basic idea of the [[Undine]] and make it more broadly useful. During the [[Jihad]], the [[Federated Suns]] finally got their hands on the Undine through [[Clan Diamond Shark]]. Though they had initially planned on simply deploying the [[Clan]] suits, it quickly became clear that the Undine's aquatic nature made it of limited usefulness, especially as its technological sophistication prevented easy repair. For this reason, the Hauberk was created from the Undine chassis, leading to the similar appearances of the designs.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO36>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 36</ref>

The Hauberk mounts improved stealth armor to keep from being targeted effectively. The size of the battlesuit precludes its ability to be transported on [[OmniMech]]s or perform anti-[['Mech]] operations, though it does mount a battle claw. Its slow speed generally limits its use to defensive operations, though it has been known to travel by armored personnel carrier.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 36–37</ref>

*;Hauberk U15 : Developed by Tech Sergeant [[Tim Balke]] at a repair depot during the [[Jihad]], the Hauberk U15 uses three [[Detachable Weapon Mount]]s to carry several Clan made weapons. The left arm mount has an [[Extended Range Small Laser (Battle Armor)|ER Small Laser]] while the right arm mount carries a [[Micro Pulse Laser (Battle Armor)|Micro Pulse Laser]]. An [[SRM-2 (Battle Armor)|SRM-2]] with four reloads is carried on the body, and a Magshot Gauss Rifle is mounted over the right shoulder on the last Detachable Weapon Mount. There was still enough room for a Clan-made [[ECM Suite]] while [[Mimetic Armor]] from a ruined [[Purifier Adaptive|Purifier]] suits provides its protection.

*;Hauberk Commando : An urban-fighting version of the Hauberk armor, the Hauberk Commando was designed to capitalize on the lessons learned from the Hauberk U15. The Commando version carries a [[Detachable Weapon Mount]] in each arm and on the body. The arms each carry a standard [[Extended Range Small Laser (Battle Armor)|ER Small Laser]] while a Magshot pokes over the shoulder. A single one-shot SRM-2 provides a nasty surprise for any unit that gets too close. Finally, Mimetic armor allows the Commando to fade from view and set up ambushes in close terrain, be it cities or dense forest.
