================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Zues -7Y model was an advanced variant based on the earlier -6Yb, which employed various
    advanced technology to improve its capabilities further.
    The -7Y employed an Extra Light engine, which allowed the original Medium Lasers to be
    upgraded into pulse models, the LRM armament to be upgraded to a twenty-tube model
    incorporating the advanced Artemis fire control system without losing endurance, and the
    armor to be increased to the maximum possible for the mech's frame. The standard Large Laser
    was also upgraded to a Star League extended range model, though it was deemed impractical to
    apply those systems to the retained Binary Laser Cannon, and a Guardian ECM system was
    employed to further increase the mech's ability to avoid damage. Fifteen Double Heat Sinks
    provided reasonable cooling for the machine, especially once its long range missiles were
    expended, and CASE protection was added to the right torso (as the complex missile system
    prevented easy placement in the arm) to guard against ammunition detonations.
    
    This model would be succeeded by the even more advanced -8Y following the Clan Invasion.
