Overview:
    The Tarantula ZPH-1C (SSR) is the result of having to rebuild a Tarantula, without
    access to extra-light engine technology. Spark's Soldiery aquired the gutted mech at
    a poker game, where the 'at the time' owner seemed all to happy to bet it away. He made no
    statemtent as to the 'condition' of the Mech, only that it worked when it was taken to where
    it was at... a mech-lube, with cradle. The armor was strewn about and the valuable 200XL
    engine was gone. Having only a spare 150 Fusion engine; they spend the next several weeks
    getting this rare Tarantula back in working order. The Medium Lasers, Streak-SRM2, and
    several spare Gyros were sold off to other Mercs that needed them to restore their own
    "Stock" Tarantulas. Two ER Medium, and Two ER Small Lasers were installed to offset the loss
    of speed the mech suffers from without its advanced engine.

Capabilities:
    The Tarantula ZPH-1C (SSR) is capable of delivering sustained firepower, without a
    need to re-supply ammo. It's armor has been upgraded to handle more punishment.

Deployment:
    The Tarantula ZPH-1C (SSR) is owned by Spark's Soldiery. A Lance-Sized Merc
    outfit based on the Steiner world of Heulbraug. It is deployed with the Merc's two
    Mongoose MON-67u's, and the unit's "stock" Tarantula ZPH-1A. It's is to
    replace the unit's Locust LCT-1E.

Variants:
    This is a rebuild varient of the Tarantula ZPH-1A. As such has no variants.
