==Description==
Designed in secrecy, the '''Centaur''' is a Heavy weight Battle Armor, first designed for the [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s armed forces during the later [[Dark Age]] era. This was part of an effort by the Republic to develop a highly mobile Battle Armor scale artillery piece. The Centaur's development came in time the nation was being torn sunder by internal and external forces.  It was first built on [[Devil's Rock]] at the highly secretive Rhodes Foundry Ltd factory, along with other secret projects. The Battle Armor was first enter production in 3136 along with the [[Simian]] Battle Armor, where they would be teamed up in years ahead.

The Armor would first see combat in false-flag raids as part of Republic's efforts to destabilize enemy forces outside of the nation's [[Fortress Republic|Fortress Walls]].<ref name=tro3145rots9/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The heavy suit is weighted down by its primary weapon, the Battle Armor Artillery battery. Intended as anti-infantry and Battle Armor weapon, this tubed artillery weapon is heavy enough to slow down the Centaur to just barely 10 kph.  However, the entire weapon is detachable, once dropped the armor can move upwards to 20 kph. The tubed weapon system is limited to eight rounds of fire.  As its only backup weapon, the suit has a right arm mounted Small Laser.  To aid in moving the Centaur to get into position against a potential enemy, the suit is equipped with [[Magnetic Clamp|Magnetic Clamps]]. Protecting the suit from counter-artillery fire or missile based weaponry; the soldier is protected by 420 kgs of Reactive Armor.
