== Description ==
Developed as a complement to the ''[[Griffin]]'' in the later years of the [[Jihad]], the '''''Ghost''''' is a medium strike [['Mech]] that saw considerable use in the years after the formation of the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. Developed by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and elements of the former [[Free Worlds League]], the ''Ghost'' carries an extensive array of electronic warfare equipment into combat.<ref name="TRO:3085p78+">''Technical Readout: 3085'', pp. 78-79, "GST-10 Ghost"</ref>

Developed as a complement to the ''[[Griffin]]'' in the later years of the [[Jihad]], the '''''Ghost''''' is a medium strike [['Mech]] that saw considerable use in the years after the formation of the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. Developed by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and elements of the former [[Free Worlds League]] the ''Ghost'' carries an extensive array of electronic warfare equipment into combat. A [[Beagle Active Probe]] allows the ''Ghost'' to find enemy units, while [[Stealth Armor]] and a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] allows the 'Mech to live up to its name.<ref name="TRO:3085p78+"/>
  
With excellent land speed and formidable medium-range weaponry, the ''Ghost'' is ideal for hunter-killer and heavy raiding missions, especially when paired with ''Griffins''. Though production runs started low due to the expensive [[stealth armor]] and electronics, both Defiance and Earthwerks make a simpler ''Ghost'' variant available for purchase on the open market.<ref name="TRO:3085p78+"/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
== Weapons and Equipment ==
The ''Ghost'' is built on a standard [[Enran TXS2A]] chassis and powered by a [[GM 300 XL|GM 300]] [[XL engine]], allowing it to move at speeds up to 97.2 km/h. Besides this speed, the ''Ghost'' is protected by 10.5 tons of [[stealth armor]], powered by a mounted [[Guardian ECM suite]]. These, combined with the weapon loadout, allow the ''Ghost'' to dictate the pace and range of engagements.<ref name="TRO:3085p78+"/>
+
The ''Ghost'' uses twin Light PPCs to hit a target at long range. The MML-3's can supplement this fire with [[LRM|long range missiles]]. After closing with enemy forces, the ''Ghost'' can easily switch to [[SRM]] ammunition and the ER Medium Laser to damage the enemy. Defensively the high speed and Stealth Armor make the ''Ghost'' particularly difficult to hit. This allows the ''Ghost'' to dictate the pace of the fight and maximize its advantages.<ref name="TRO:3085p78+"/>
  
Offensively, the ''Ghost'' uses twin [[light PPC]]s to hit a target at long ranges, supplemented by two [[MML-3]]s that can support this fire with one ton of [[LRM|long range missiles]]. After closing with enemy forces, the ''Ghost'' can easily switch to its single ton [[SRM]] ammunition and the [[ER medium laser]] to damage the enemy. A [[Beagle active probe]] helps the ''Ghost'' detect enemies and defeat enemy ECM, while 14 [[double heat sink]]s work to keep things cool.<ref name="TRO:3085p78+"/>

*; GST-10A ''Ghost Aurora'' : Debuted in [[3144]] on the [[Tennessee Valley]] Arena and piloted by [[Marie Costa]], the most striking piece of technology this machine features is a [[Void Signature System]] followed by the [[Clan]]-spec [[ferro-fibrous armor]] that replaced its original Capellan-style [[stealth armor]] and its eleven [[double heat sink]]s. In the weapons section, a single [[MML-9]] launcher appears where once there were twin [[MML-3]]s, while the 'Mech loses the [[light PPC]]s in favor of three [[ER medium laser]]s and an [[ER small pulse laser]].
