The Gryphon is a general purpose grav fighting vehicle manufactured in large quantities in the frontier regions of the Imperium. A reliable design, it was standard with the Imperial forces when they were equipped at TL13, and the data package is now generally available. With space rated armor and computers, the Gryphon is capable of combat from a planetary surface out to orbit, and can be launched from orbit for a planetary assault operation. Armament is laid out "over and under", with the pulse laser in a remote turret on the upper surface of the vehicle, and the fusion gun in a turret on the lower surface. The 2 5MW beam lasers are mounted in side sponsons, and are intended for antipersonnel use.
