Overview:
    A very light scout QuadVee developed by Clan Hell's Horses, the Arcturus is notable for its
    tricycle-like vehicle configuration. Its front legs have a large wheel each, their axles
    being specially made to be able to connect into one. The rear legs each have two wheels for
    side support.
    
    It's quite infamous for being easy to kill, not helped by the lack of means for ejection;
    however, its cheapness for a QuadVee, its speed, and its compactness has made sure it hasn't
    been abandoned.

Capabilities:
    Considered a solahma-only version of the Arcturus due to its deserved reputation as a
    deathtrap, the Arcturus 2 strips out the CEWS and reduces the armor plating even further in
    order to install two Medium Pulse Lasers and a Heavy Medium Lasers. As such, the design is
    considered a striker, capable of dealing a surprising amount of damage in the right hands,
    or in groups - even if it is likely to be destroyed right after. It also installs two Jump
    Jets for clearing obstacles.
