Description
To respond to sagging morale in the Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth due to large part to the Lyran secession, Prince Victor Ian Steiner-Davion ordered new units created that represented a visual aesthetic that appealed to many AFFC troopers. Military engineers responded with a battle armor design that was essentially a reworked version of the Inner Sphere Standard. They simply moved around some armor plates and received a unit that could jump ninety meters at a time and had enough armor to withstand a blast from a Large Pulse Laser. By 3070, all Federated Suns facilities has switched over from producing the Inner Sphere Standard to the Cavalier.
Armament
Like the Inner Sphere Standard, the Cavalier has a modular weapon mount that can accept a Flamer, Small Laser, or Machine Gun. The only actual difference between the two suits is that the Cavalier's missile launcher is an SRM-1 with three reloads. The laser is most useful against hardened targets, while the Machine Gun is highly effective against unarmored infantry. The Flamer is threatening to both.
