Recognition notes
The Tarantula ZPH-2A is a 25-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out at 130, with a 240-metre jump. This is a 3060 refit of the 3054 ZPH-1, swapping the Medium Laser in the left torso and the Medium Laser in the right torso for ER Medium Lasers in the same locations, giving it sharper reach without touching its speed or jump range. The Streak SRM 2 in the center torso carries over from the original. Corean Enterprises builds it at its MacAdams-Suharno plant on Stewart.
