Description
The Raiden is a battle armor design that hails from the Draconis Combine. It is essentially the Combine's take on the Inner Sphere Standard, though the Standard is still being produced in the Kurita realm. Greatly helped by the prize they won on Wolcott, the Combine's battle armor development gave birth to the Raiden, as well as the lighter Kage and heavier Kanazuchi. When the first Raiden prototype was presented to the Coordinator in 3052, he commanded the director to improve armor coverage so that it could survive a direct blast from a large laser. The director was informed that he would be piloting the test suit. The design team removed the prototype's missile launcher in order to provide the necessary armor. Following the successful test, the director was promoted to head of the Internal Security Force's research department after recovering from his wounds. The septuagenarian died the following year and received an honor guard composed of Raiden-suited troopers.
Armament
Like the Inner Sphere Standard, the Raiden has a modular weapon mount that can accept a Small Laser, Flamer, or Machine Gun to accommodate for preference or mission parameters. It lacks the missile launcher and anti-personnel weapon mount of the Elemental Battle Armor, though it has the same jump capacity of ninety meters and also mounts a battle claw that enables it to hitch a ride on an OmniMech and make anti-'Mech attacks.
