==Description==
The '''Xiphos''' assault [[battle armor]] was developed by Irian Technologies specifically to create an infantry suit protected against artillery attacks, one of the most commonly-used tactics for defeating battle armor. Manufactured on [[Irian]] and [[Washburn]] for the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]] (prior to the capture of Washburn by [[Clan Wolf]]) the Xiphos was manufactured in three common configurations and specifically incorporated a high-powered communications system to allow battlefield commanders to keep lines of communication open even in the face of hostile electronic countermeasures.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp8+"/>
