================================================================================================
Overview:
    Promethean Armouries' mission statement of finding, supporting and
    resurrecting/re-incarnating lost(ech), often royal SLDF, mech designs naturally led it
    towards the legendarily rare Spartan. The company was never able to source an original unit
    but they did cobble together enough technical documentation for the -NF to guide the
    development of their own variants.
    
    Production volume was very low, like all of the products PA offered in their
    "Built-to-Order" series. In contrast to their mass production facilities on Loxley, PA's BtO
    mechs all came from their highly advanced facilities on Ravensbourne. The Ravensbourne
    production lines were amazingly flexible, but capacity was limited. PA never built enough
    Spartans to make a meaningful difference to the machine's scarcity, but in time their
    ability to produce replacement parts in support of those original Spartans still in
    existence as well as their own models helped add to the company's mystique among historians
    and collectors.
    
    The PA Spartans never proved to be terribly popular but the profitability of
    resurrected/re-incarnated designs was never the point. PA made the bulk of its profits from
    subcontracted parts production, advanced repair services and their mass produced models.

Capabilities:
    Promethean Armouries' -NH was designed to improve the platform, an evolution of their prior
    -NG. It is very similar in makeup, and identical in silhouette and weapon mount locations.
    PA added a C3 slave, endosteel architecture, and additional heat sinks. In terms of
    armament, the pulse lasers were exchanged for normal lasers, and the torso PPC upgraded to a
    heavy model.

Variants:
    There was a phenomena within Promethean Armouries' company culture that was highlighted by
    the approaches towards developing the -NG and -NH. They represent a tension between
    maintaining and preserving what was versus innovating and improving towards what could be.
    This is why PA's Built-to-Order catalogue items had a few different labels: "Resurrected" to
    represent identical or very close to identical models, "Re-incarnated" to represent new
    variants that are spiritually consistent with their models of origin, and "Evolved" to
    represent substantial changes or entirely new directions of development.
    
    Standard procedure was to start with a Resurrected or Re-incarnated variant. Sometimes these
    will be offered for sale and sometimes they won't. Either way, this stage of research serves
    to develop parts to support original series models still in existence and build testbeds for
    later variations. As such, there is often a sense of impatience that must be counteracted
    among teams in their haste to be done with "less interesting work" and to move onto
    improvements and innovations.
