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> 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== 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+"/> 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+"/> ==Variants== *; GST-11 : This ''Ghost'' variant, introduced in [[Introduction Year::3082]]<ref name="MUL2"/>, is popular with mercenary commands and is available for purchase by anyone.

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]]. Missing is the [[Beagle active probe]] replaced by an [[improved Narc missile beacon]] used to dispense [[Haywire pod]]s in battle.
