'''Gray Death Scout''' is a radical take on [[battle armor]], almost taking the "battle" out of battle armor.  When the [[New Avalon Institute of Science]] sent prototypes of its [[Inner Sphere Standard]] to the [[Gray Death Legion]], the mercenaries were duly impressed with many of its features.  They also had a number of criticisms, sending a long list of improvements back to NAIS while Legion technicians went about with their own tinkering.  By late [[3051]] the Legion had created two distinct suits from the original prototype: a [[Gray Death Standard]] similar in form and function to the Inner Sphere Standard, and a light "scout armor" suit.  By stripping off more than half of the prototype's armor and its integrated weaponry, the technicians were able to improve the Scout's jumping and sensor capabilities, creating a suit suitable for deep reconnaissance missions.<ref name=TRO3058U12-13>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', pp. 12–13: "Gray Death Scout Battle Armor Profile"</ref><ref name=LOS>''LosTech: The MechWarrior Equipment Guide'', p. 80</ref>

The Gray Death Scout armor made its combat debut in [[3052]], fighting alongside the Gray Death Standard to defeat [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces on [[Pandora]].  After the end of the [[Clan Invasion]] the Legion continued to build new Scout suits to replace their losses and sell a small number to other [[mercenary]] commands.  They also sold small numbers of Scout suits to the [[Lyran Alliance]], although the Legion would pay for this support when they were destroyed during the [[FedCom Civil War]] on [[Hesperus II]] in [[3065]].  Afterwards, survivors of the Legion created [[Gray Death Technologies]] and used financial aid from [[Defiance Industries]] to start producing both the Scout and Standard suits on [[Glengarry]], selling them to the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces]] and other mercenaries.<ref name=TRO3058U12-13/>
