==Description==
 +
Designed in secrecy, the '''Centaur''' is a Heavy-weight [[Battle Armor|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.  It was first built on [[Devil's Rock]] at the highly secretive Rhodes Foundry Ltd. factory, along with other secret projects. The battle armor first entered production in [[3136]] along with the [[Simian]] battle armor, where they would often be teamed up in the years ahead.
 +
 
 +
The Centaur would first see combat in false-flag raids as part of the 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 [[BA Tube Artillery|battle armor artillery battery]]. Intended to be an 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 [[Detachable Weapon Pack|is detachable]], and once dropped the armor can move upwards to 20 kph. The tubed weapon system is limited to eight rounds of fire.  For its only backup weapon, the Centaur has a right arm-mounted [[Small Laser (Battle Armor)|Small Laser]].  To help the Centaur to get into position against a potential enemy, the suit is equipped with [[Magnetic Clamps (Battle Armor)|Magnetic Clamps]]. Protecting the suit from counter-artillery fire or missile based weaponry is 420 kilograms of [[Reactive Armor]].

 +
==Notes==
 +
The suit has the following capabilities - Swarm/Leg Attack/Mechanized/AP: No/No/Yes/No
 +
Its [[Equipment Rating]]s are F/X-X-F.  The Armor's BA Tube Artillery also has a Detachable Weapon Pack feature on it.
 +
 
 +
The Centaur battle armor was originally conceived of by [[Wizkids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectible Miniatures]] game as a part of its Fire Power expansion set. The figure would be used both generally and as a unique armor in the CGC game. The battle armor would later be adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].
