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. 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.[1]
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.[1]
Armament
The Ghost uses twin Light PPCs to hit a target at long range. The MML-3's can supplement this fire with 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.[1]
Variants
- GST-11 - This Ghost variant is popular with mercenary commands and is available for purchase by anyone. The key difference is the Stealth Armor has been removed and replaced by conventional armor. All other statistics remain the same.[1] BV (2.0) = 1,244[3]
Dark Age Variants
- One Dark Age variant replaces the standard weapons with a pair of Large Pulse Lasers, an ER Small Laser, and a single SRM-6. Built around an Endo Steel skeleton, this version uses a Defiance 300 Light Fusion Engine and standard armor with CASE to protect itself.[4]
- GST-90 - Another variant removes the SRM-6 rack from the standard Dark Age Ghost and replaces it with a Chainsaw to minimize logistical needs, or potentially to disguise it as an IndustrialMech.[5]
