------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The 7S appears to be (on the surface) a minimalistic upgrading of the
original 6S Zeus. Why the Lyran Alliance chose to do what they did with this
model is anyone's guess, however.
The main modification is the replacement of the original engine with a
newer Light Engine. This, along with the upgrading to Double Heat Sinks, has
freed up considerable tonnage on the mech.
The original LRM-15 rack has been replaced by three LRM-5 racks. Not only
is the unit harder to silence, but the redesigned arm actually left room for a
hand. Although the unit still only has enoough ammo for 8 salvos, the ammo is
now protected in a CASE unit.
The original AC/5 has been replaced by an LB-5X; where Defiance Industries
got them from is anyone's guess. The LB now has a second ton of ammo
supporting it, and the ammo has been moved to the left torso so that it can be
protected by a CASE as well.
In a massive firepower increase, the PPC magnetism problems that plagued
the original 6S have been overcome; as such the unit now boasts a PPC in
place of the original Large Laser. To compensate for the loss of in-close
firepower, an additional medium laser and an ECM have been added. The mech is
now also at full armor, allowing it to take a good deal of damage before
having to bow out of the fight.

==Capabilities:==
Notes for those who make rules based on fluff:

1. The right hand actuator was actually an afterthought. To reflect this,
there is a 1-point penalty every time the player tries to use that hand.

2. Although the magnetism issues with the PPC and the engine have been solved,
the solution has created another problem in the form of waste heat
ventilation. As such, treat the PPC as if it gives off 11 points of heat
instead of 10.

2A. If a player wishes to use an ER PPC, treat that ER as giving off 17 points
rather than 15.
