================================================================================================
Overview:
    A mixed-tech variant of the Jorōgumo created by Arc-Royal MechWorks with the willing
    collaboration of Clan Wolf-in-Exile, the Jorōgumo ARC was sold at a premium to the Lyran
    Commonwealth due to its at-the-time advanced technology. Production would be cut short by
    the invasion of the Jade Falcons, but would be restarted for the Arc-Royal Liberty
    Coalition.
    
    The 'Mech was designed as a well-defended laser boat, running hot in exchange for
    ZombieMech-levels of durability. It was deemed suitable as a skirmisher after the decision
    was made to install a more powerful reactor to compensate for the loss of Jump Jets.

Capabilities:
    The Black Arachne ARC is built on a Clantech Endo-Composite chassis, powered by a ArcForce
    12L 240 Light fusion engine, and protected by 7 tons of  ArcShield Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor
    - maxing out the potential protection of the design. Its primary weapons are two WCA Heavy
    Longfang ER Large Pulse Lasers, one attached to each arm. To back this up four WCA Micro
    Fang Micro Pulse Lasres are installed the side torsos - two facing forward, two facing
    rearward. 11 Double Heat Sinks keep the 'Mech's heating from getting too out of control,
    though sustained Alpha Strikes are still enough to create a large amount of heat buildup;
    volley fire for the ER Large Pulse Lasers is highly recommended in the operator's manual.

Deployment:
    As of 3151, several Black Arachne ARCs are in use by the military forces of both the Lyran
    Commonwealth and the Arc-Royal Liberty Coalition. The former has deployed them to help deal
    with rebellions in their territory.
