'''Stealth Armor''' is a special type of armor which does not provide more protection per ton or more protection against a certain attack type, but makes the armored unit harder to hit. The unit becomes harder to hit the further away it is from the attacker, in addition to the normal penalties for range and other factors.

Developed by the Capellan Confederation, Stealth Armor is a modern day equivalent of the Star League era Null Signature System.

Overview

The finest achievement in stealth systems developed by the original Star League, the Null Signature System was capable of shielding a BattleMech from electronic detection. Unfortunately like many pieces of advanced technology, the system and the 'Mechs that carried it became LosTech during the maelstrom of the early Succession Wars. All Successor States attempted to recover and rediscovery the technology, but the Capellan Confederation is the closest to recreating the system.

Discovering detailed information on the system in the archives of the reactivated Star League era Shengli Arms factory, while not yet able to produce a bolt for bolt, circuit for circuit replication, with typical Capellan ingenuity House Liao developed a stop-gap solution suitable for mass-production. Integrating the heat baffles and required components directly into specially designed armor plating, when linked with a Guardian ECM Suite Stealth Armor replicates the benefits (and disadvantages) of the Null Signature System.
