The ARCEUS System was quite interesting to say the least.
As the closest thing to an energy weapon specialist among the design team of the Mars Project, Ves mostly took up the responsibility of integrating the ARCEUS System.
It was not as simple as slotting in all of the integrated weapons and accompanying systems into a mech frame.
The more powerful the parts, the more demands they imposed on a mech design. From the beginning, Ves struggled with placing all of the components and subcomponents into a mech design that was still under development.
Not only did he have to prevent the powerful and sometimes volatile parts of the ARCEUS System from interfering with each other, he also had to make sure that they did not disrupt any other parts placed in their vicinity!
