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, and they would often be teamed up in the years ahead.+ The '''Centaur''' is a powerful [[battle armor]] suit incorporating artillery capabilities. Despite its short range compared to usual artillery, this battle armor can bring huge firepower at cheap cost to the front, with greater mobility than a mortar squad. − − 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== ==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 km/h. However, the entire weapon [[Detachable Weapon Pack|is detachable]], and once dropped the armor can move upwards to 20 km/h. 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 counterbattery fire or missile based weaponry is 420 kilograms of [[Reactive Armor]].<ref name=tro3145rots9/> + The ''Centaur'' mounts a portable artillery unit, of unknown type, in a disposable backpack mount.
