================================================================================================
Overview:
    A expensive experiment refit of a Zeus X2 called the Gabriel after the old Christian angel.
    Built using an smaller but just as lightweight clan built 400 XXL engine, the usual
    composite structure is kept, while the armor was upgraded to clan spec Ferro Fibrous plates.
    
    The party trick of this mech are six IS spec improved jump jets sourced from the Davions
    that lets it leap an impressive 180 meters on their own, which is farther improved to a
    total of 210 meters by the addition of a partial wing that makes the Zeus X's distinct fins
    even more wing like, almost akin to an angel when they are in action.
    
    Its weapons load out was more mundane in comparison, two clan spec PPCs and a single micro
    pulse lasers was mated to a clan spec targeting computer to offset aiming issues while in
    flight, and this provides adequate firepower but it is far too little when given the price
    of this prototype.
    
    As a result of that, only one was ever made as a result of a gifted Zeus X by the Archon to
    the Kelsberg engineering team after the end of the Word of Blake threat as a celebration
    showpiece for the festivities and as a hopeful sign of the cooperation between IS and clan
    forces in that conflict.
