Despite an accelerated prototype cycle and early battle deployment, the Zeus
has proven from its first tours of duty to be one of the most versatile of
Assault-class Mechs. House Steiner requested an 80 ton unit with hit-and-run
capability, and these BattleMechs rolled of the production line 3 years
later to defend the very factories where the first ones were made.
Designed to lay down continual barrages of missile and energy weapons
fire, the Zeus houses one of the best heat dissipation systems found in any
Mech. the effectiveness of the initial design has carried the Zeus through
history with relatively little change. The current Zeus models still bear
the PPC and LRMs of its predecessor.
Linked for years with the Lyran Commonwealth, the Zeus still sees
extensive duty under House Steiner.
