[Zenith] EM7 Polestar Evolution

In keeping with the running arms race, Zenith head engineers gave the ZM7 hull a thorough once-over, improving its strengths and eliminating its least useful features. The upper bridge area was carved out to allow for a second main turret, and the weaponry of both main turrets was switched to heavy artillery and doubled up. Light defenses were expanded, and assault cannons were thrown into the mix. Finally, the overcomplicated, unreliable guided missiles were scrapped in favor of six forward railguns for initial alpha damage against large targets.

With all these changes, the Polestar Evo continues the M7 line's role as the biggest and best source of outright firepower in Zenith's arsenal.
