================================================================================================
Overview:
    Piloted by Leftenent Miki Petersen of the 10th Lyran Guards. Using a light fusion engine,
    this design is in many ways an evolution of the ZEU-5S using more modern technologies to
    create a fast, hard hitting, and well protected assault mech. The original Coventry
    Star-Fire LRM15 system with an Artemis IV fire control system is retained, along with its
    ammunition load. Instead of an ER PPC, the left arm holds Myrdron Excel LB 10-X autocannon,
    a devastating weapon. Two tons of ammunition for this cannon are placed in the left torso,
    and all ammunition is protected by CASE systems. One of the pulse lasers is removed to make
    space and weight for this cannon. The original ER Large Laser is retained. While it does
    strip out several heat sinks, reducing them to thirteen total, this change saves weight and
    provides a similar performance to those used to the original Zeus ZEU-6S in terms of heat
    management. Half a ton of armor is also taken off of the design.
