================================================================================================
Overview:
    Built on the frame work of the old GRF-1A Griffin, the 60 ton primitive version of the
    modern medium BattleMech, the GRP-4A Gryphon has been modified from a long range sniper to a
    short range brawler.

Capabilities:
    Though maintaining the overall appearance of the primitive Griffin, the Gryphon is built
    around an extralight Vlar 300 fusion engine paired up with both a supercharger and a myomer
    acceleration signal circuitry system, enabling the design to run in bursts just over 140
    kph. Its jump jet system has been expanded over the original base model to allow for leaps
    up to 150 meters at a time. This mobility allows it to close range with most enemies very
    quickly, which is fortunate, as its weapons are designed to make the 'Mech a close-range
    slugger.
    
    The central weapon of the Gryphon's arsenal is a snub-nose particle cannon tied into a
    capacitor. Backing this weapon are a pair of standard medium lasers, and a 5 rack
    multi-missile launcher with an Artemis IV fire-control system. This last weapon is equipped
    with 3 tons of ammunition, which allows the pilot to carry a range of both long-range and
    short range missiles tailored to fit each mission.
    
    To protect this 'Mech, the Gryphon mounts 12 tons of standard armor plate, and the MML-5's
    ammunition is stored in a bay protected by CASE II. As a final measure of protection, the
    engineer's added a Guardian ECM suite.

Deployment:
    The Gryphon is currently being sold to virtually all customers, with the lion's share going
    to the mercenary market.
