================================================================================================
Overview:
    The original 6Y was maligned as a failure. So much so that a production run was lost with
    little effort done to discover its whereabouts. The missing production run was found during
    the Jihad and looked at as a godsend as war ravaged the entire Inner Sphere.

Capabilities:
    The 7Y is a modern upgrade intended to alleviate the problems of its predecessor and allow
    it to serve as a general trooper.
    
    The head-capping Binary Laser Cannon remains the centerpiece, no longer a liability thanks
    to the use of double heat sinks. The LRMs were switched out for an Artemis-equipped MML 9
    rack for versatility and the AC/5 was upgraded into the much beloved LB 10-X.
    
    One laser, one missile, and one ballistic system. All effective from short-range to more
    allow the 7Y to send appreciable damage throughout the battlefield.
    
    A vulnerable light-fusion engine had to be installed to enable the weight increase but with
    twin case equipped torsos and the maximum amount of heavy ferro-fibrous armor it can
    support, the 7Y isn't easy to put down.
    
    The last addition is the inclusion of a Guardian ECM suite. Done so to help disrupt the ever
    prevalent use of C3 by Blakist forces.

Deployment:
    All 7Ys are concentrated within 2 companies named, Hades and Poseidon.
    
    Though it's used just as a general trooper, the visual impact of seeing the Binary Laser
    Cannon has led some to consider its renewed production and inclusion in new 7Ys.

Variants:
    An 8Y production model is being considered that involves the replacement of the iconic
    Binary Laser Cannon for the effective and popular Heavy PPC. The change also removes a heat
    sink but the increase in ranged effectiveness has more appeal to traditional Zeus pilots,
    especially with the return of twin medium lasers to cover the minimum range gap, albeit at
    the loss of the ECM suite. (BV 1,714 vs 1,824)
