'''Endo-Composite Structure''' is an [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] chassis technology developed by the [[Lyran Alliance]] in [[3067]]<ref name="TOp342">''Tactical Operations'', p. 342, "Endo-Composite Structure"</ref> By mixing and matching standard and [[Endo-Steel]] components, Lyran engineers created a BattleMech skeleton that weighed 75% of a standard chassis but was only half as bulky as a traditional Endo-Steel system. This provides the 'Mech with more tonnage and frees enough room to keep a good weapons load. More importantly unlike the [[Composite internal structure]] developed by the [[Federated Suns]], the Endo-Composite structure resists damage as effectively as a standard chassis.<ref name="TOp342"/>

Though developed by the Lyrans, the [[Word of Blake]] did have access to the technology when they took over [[Hesperus II]] and [[Coventry]]. The Lyrans were able to get the technology to [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] however, and they created their first Endo-Composite skeleton in [[3073]].<ref name="TOp342"/> By 3085, the technology would be enter limited production, being listed as [[Advanced Technology]].<ref name="[[TROP207]]">''[[Technical Readout: Prototypes]]'', p. 207, "JIHAD TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT TABLE", Structural Components (’Mech)</ref><ref name="[[IO48]]">''Interstellar Operations'', p. 48, "UNIVERSAL TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT TABLE", Structural Components (’Mech)/Internal Structure</ref>
