==Overview:==
     The ArcAngel project started towards the end of 2750 and was to be Ground
Zero's Land Air Mech or LAM submission to the SLDF. The project got bogged
down with delays and misfortune, and the project was officially scrapped prior
to completion. Unofficially, the project was completed by company Owner Robert
Stonkin himself, and GZT built just one prototype of the unique 'mech. Dubbed
"Major Tom" by Mr. Stonkin the ArcAngel was stored away from prying eyes and
was only flown twice around the then Ground Zero facilities on Terra. With the
collapse of the Star League, the ensuing succession wars, and the Clan
invasion the fabled LAM of GZT was summarily forgotten except as a stories
told to now CEO Mark "Fang" Stonkin by his grandfather. Determined to validate
the claims of his grandfather Stokin funded two separate missions: One to the
planet Irece where the last known functioning LAM factory existed before the
Clan invasion, and one to Terra to locate the remnants of the original GZT
facilities; The missions were to recover any existing information and if
possible the prototype it self. While both missions were successful both
proved costly in both men and machines as the planet Irece was presently in
the hands of Clan Nova Cat and Terra in the hands of the Comstar faction Word
of Blake. The Irece team successfully transmitted the needed information
before contact was lost. No personnel returned. The Terran mission faired
slightly better with Stonkin's command lance returning along with the Major
Tom itself. 

==Capabilities:==
     As a 'mech, the ArcAngel is decent enough but breaks no new ground.
Weighing 55 tons, making it potent in its own right, the Major Tom's weapon
package is even more potent:   a particle projection cannon backed up by five
medium lasers.  When combined with its high mobility and its ability to keep
up with most 'mechs its size or smaller the ArcAngel is a solid strike and
recon unit. Eleven double strength heatsinks regulate the unit's operational
temperatures while 11 tons Aldis Plate armor provide protection against enemy
fire. Where the 'mech really stands out is in the conversion equipment that
allows the ArcAngel to alter its physical configuration to that of a
fighter-mech hybrid and a fully equipped fighter. This conversion technology
has been all but lost to the Inner Sphere, and Ground Zero is hoping to be
able to bring it back.

==Battle History:==
     The ArcAngel has only seen the light of day twice before its recent
recovery. Both flights were smooth and had no complications. 

==Variants:==
     The Major Tom is a prototype ArcAngel 'mech with no variants are
available at this time. 

==Deployment==
     Discussions are currently in progress with the 'merc unit Blighted Sun
regarding deployments and trials of any new ArcAngels being produced. After
the initial trials, the 'mech should be available for wide deployment.
Following the rediscovery of the ArcAngel LAM, Ground Zero has fortified the
defenses on its production plant to discourage any attempts by other companies
or entities at acquiring a production model or other information on the unit's
production through hostile means.
