−	The newest of the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[Demon Series]] of [[battle armor]] is the '''Nephilim'''. Named for a [[w:Nephilim|group of half-angels]] from the bible who dwelt with mortals, the name may hint at the unit's intended close relationship with the [[Celestial series]].  Like the Celestial series, the Nephilim employes modular and/or detachable weapon mounts to give it a flexibility few other Demon series suits possess.  Its enhanced motive systems give it good overland speed for an assault-weight suit, though it relies on its 850 kg of mimetic armor to not only stop two direct hits from a [[Large Laser]] but prevent it from being targeted in the first place.<ref name=TRO38>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 38</ref>	+	The newest of the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[Demon]] series of [[battle armor]] is the '''Nephilim'''. Named for a class of half-angels who dwelt with mortals from Christianity, the name may hint at an intended close relationship with the [[Celestial series|Celestial]] series.<ref name=TRO38>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 38</ref>
−	When it was first introduced the Nephilim appeared in three distinct configurations with three more introduced at a later date, although given the modular nature of the Nephilim a variety of specialty variants have been reported.  As the last of the Demon series suit introduced the Nephilim was relatively rare even among the [[Manei Domini]] for whom it was solely designed, with Allied intelligence confirming the greatest concentrations in the [[44th Shadow Division|44th]], [[47th Shadow Division|47th]], [[49th Shadow Division|49th]] and [[52nd Shadow Division]]s.  Despite this the suit was no less dangerous and viewed as too much for most other battlesuits to contend with on their own; medium-weight [[BattleMechs]] and [[combat vehicles]] were seen as the most effective platforms to combat the Nephilim.<ref name=TRO39 />	+	The Nephilim is protected by enough [[Mimetic Armor]] to stop two direct hits from a [[Large Laser]]. Since it can only manage 21 km/h overland, the special qualities of the armor are usually put to good use.<ref name=TRO39 />

−	The standard version of the Nephilim is dedicated to combating ground forces of all types, using its mimetic qualities to close in and unleash devastating firepower.  It has a [[Modular Weapon Mount]] in the right arm, typically occupied by a [[Man-Portable Plasma Rifle (Battle Armor)|Man-Portable Plasma Rifle]] though it can vary based on trooper preference, and a [[Heavy Battle Claw]] in the left. A pair of [[One-Shot]] [[SRM-2 (Battle Armor)|SRM-2s]] mounted over the shoulders supplement this arsenal.<ref name=TRO39 />	+	The standard version of the Nephilim has a [[Modular Weapon Mount]].

−	*;Gauss : The "Gauss Nephilim" is designed around the precise application of slightly less firepower.  It eschews the aforementioned weapons of the standard configuration in favor of a [[David Light Gauss Rifle (Battle Armor)|"David" Light Gauss Rifle]] in the right arm and two [[Magshot Gauss Rifle (Battle Armor)|Magshot Gauss Rifles]], duplicates of the ones employed by the [[Federated Suns]], over either shoulder.

−	*;Seeker : Dubbed the "Seeker" configuration, this third variant is a dedicated hunter/killer model which usually carries a [[Machine Gun (Battle Armor)|Machine Gun]] in the right mount. For anti-vehicle purposes it mounts an [[SRM-3 (Battle Armor)|SRM-3]] with two reloads and utilizes a [[Searchlight]] and [[Improved Sensors]] in a drum mount over the left shoulder.

−	*;Capture Team : The first variant to make use of the [[Detachable Weapon Mount]] that restricts mobility, the "Capture Team" carries a [[Battle Armor Taser]] in its right arm. For more reliable fire it has a Modular Weapon Mount that usually carries a [[Heavy Machine Gun (Battle Armor)|Heavy Machine Gun]] while a one-shot [[LRM-2 (battle armor)|LRM-2]] provides limited long-range support.

−	*;Narc : The "Narc" variant carries a [[Compact Narc Launcher]] with one reload while the right-arm Detachable Weapon Mount allows it to also utilize a [[Support Particle Projector Cannon|Support PPC]] and a [[Rocket Launcher 2]] gives it some extra firepower.
