Tarantula ZPH-4A

The Tarantula ZPH-4A is a 25-ton striker, a 3066 rework of the 3054 ZPH-1 scout that trades its jump jets and short-range battery for a single ER PPC in the left torso. Endo steel structure replaces the standard framing of the original, and a MASC unit in the center torso lets it sprint to 173 km/h on top of its 86 km/h cruising speed and 130 km/h top speed. A C3 slave unit shares the center torso with the MASC, tying the machine into a broader targeting network. The medium lasers and Streak SRM 2 of the ZPH-1 are gone, leaving the ER PPC as its sole weapon. Corean Enterprises builds it at its MacAdams-Suharno plant on Stewart.
