Recognition notes

The Tarantula ZPH-1 is a 25-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out near 130 on its 200 XL fusion engine. A jump of 240 metres extends its footing over rough terrain. It carries a Medium Laser in each torso and a Streak SRM 2 in the center torso, and its 10 double heat sinks let it cycle those weapons hard without overheating. Corean Enterprises builds it at Stewart.
