Galactic Defense League infantry equipment (3622)

Early-issue GDL armour was generally similar to the light infantry equipment of the UN forces that preceded it. However, production of heavy infantry armour was discontinued in favour of increased output of the lighter rigs, allowing production to keep pace with the GDL's rapid military expansion.

Issue of heavier armour resumed by the 3900s once the League felt more secure. However, development of improved infantry armour and weapons was rarely a priority, and by the War of 4404 League infantry systems were wildly outclassed by rebel PANTHER armour and gausstech weapons.

From 3548, League standard 6.8mm ammunition included a harmonic alloy jacket on every third round, allowing the bullets to be telekinetically manipulated by the League's "hopper" officers.
