Description

Gray Death Strike battle armor is a production version of a prototype Gray Death armor battlesuit. The Jihad stopped production at the Gray Death Technologies plants, and then Defiance Industries took over production. Defiance then moved production of battle armor to Furillo, which slowed production still more. After the Gray Death Technology plant was destroyed in 3074, it would be six years before Defiance produced a new Gray Death Strike suit.[2]

Armament

Defiance Industries wasn't able to secure a source of the advanced Clan Improved SRM launcher used on the prototype. As a result, Defiance used a single SRM-3 with two reloads. To make room for this the Gray Death Strike armor replaced the battle claws of the prototype with basic manipulators. The launcher can be jettisoned as well, allowing the unit to move slightly more quickly. The Light TAG system mounted in the arm allows armor that has jettisoned the SRM launcher to remain useful on the battlefield, designating enemy units for artillery and missile strikes.[2]

Variants

There are currently no known variants of Gray Death Strike armor.

Design Quirks

The Gray Death Strike is subject of the following Design Quirk:[2]
