GM Light Armor
Overview: A variation of the standard GM, this was the result of the belief that standardizing the GM would put it at an advantage in some cases but provide it with obvious disadvantages. Feeling that while the standard GM was more than adequate in some areas but lacking in others, a series of variants was created. One such variant was the GM Light Armor. Designed as a fast-attacking unit for hit-and-run raids against Zeon forces, the GM Light Armor was a rebuild of the GM giving it the absolute bare minimum of armor, reducing it's weight and increasing it's acceleration. This unit is favored by the Federation's former pilots due to it's immense mobility.
