Zeus-X ZEU-X3

The ZEU-X3 is an 80-ton assault that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86 with a jump range of 240 metres. Where the ZEU-X paired an LB 20-X AC with an MRM 30, this variant drops both for an ER PPC in the left arm, backed by four ER medium lasers packed into the right arm, and a targeting computer sits alongside the ER PPC in the left arm. Standard armor replaces the ZEU-X's patchwork plating, and the heat-sink count climbs from 12 to 17 double sinks. Like its forebear it stands as a command 'Mech and remains a maintenance-intensive design; Defiance Manufacturing Annex builds it at Kwangjong-ni.
