================================================================================================
Overview:
    Promethean Armouries' mission statement of finding, supporting and
    resurrecting/re-incarnating lost and/or ancient 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 the 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, able to fabricate almost anything, but capacity
    was limited. PA never produced 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.

Capabilities:
    Promethean Armouries' -Nζ was designed in such a way as to keep it's capabilities largely
    similar to the -NF. Superficially almost identical, it's only given away by an extra two
    missile launch tubes in the torso. This base PA variant trades out some range for better
    heat management and a harder hitting loadout.

Variants:
    The -Nζ was released alongside the -NζS, which offered a little more cooling and basic C3
    integration.
    
    PA variants of the Spartan can be identified by the increased number of SRM launch tubes in
    the torso, from 4 to 6, as most are upgraded from a pair of Streak 2s to a single Streak 6.
    PA's more advanced variants can then be identified through the SRM battery being slightly
    offset to the right hand side of the mech's torso due to being displaced by the Ravensbourne
    Specialist Engineering XL gyro.
