| The 
          success of the Goliath has prompted Corean Enterprises to take another 
          look at four-legged 'Mech designs. Intended to serve as a light recon 
          'Mech, the Tarantula is the first four-legged design to mount jump jets. 
          Corean designers decided to take advantage of the stability and maneuverability 
          provided by a four-legged chassis to build an extremely agile recon 
          'Mech. The resulting design combined the squat, four-legged look of 
          the Scorpion with the sleek lines of the Mercury. Naturally, there are 
          many skeptics who doubt that a four-legged design can ever compete with 
          the more traditional 'Mechs. Old habits die hard, and it will be difficult 
          for most MechWarriors to drop preconceived notions based on the old 
          Scorpion design. Those who can will discover a startling new 'Mech of 
          unsurpassed agility and a low profile particularly well-suited to recon 
          and surveillance. | ||||||
