−	The '''Prometheus Combat Support BridgeLayer''' (also known as the '''Prometheus CSB''') is a [[Federated Suns]] combat [[support vehicle]] used to assist conventional ground vehicles in traversing tough terrain and downed bridges. The vehicle was first designed by [[Olympus Construction Vehicles]] of [[Fallon II]] in [[2471]]. The [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] were in need of a vehicle that could help its extensive conventional forces keep up with their [[BattleMech]]s' all-terrain abilities.<ref name="TRO:3075p222"/>	+	The '''Prometheus''' combat support bridgelayer (also known as the '''Prometheus CSB''') is a [[Federated Suns]] combat [[support vehicle]] used to assist conventional ground vehicles in traversing tough terrain and downed bridges.

−	The vehicle was viewed by combatants as an inferior [[tank]], and was never targeted by either frontline forces or conventional [[infantry]].  This allowed the vehicle to remain in service despite its factory having been destroyed in the [[First Succession War]] by the [[Draconis Combine]]. A few of these even survived well into the late [[thirty-first century]].  By the [[Jihad]], demand for the vehicle had resurfaced as Federated Suns forces were rebuilding after the bloody [[FedCom Civil War]].

−	For the vehicle's defense, it is armed with a 15-tubed [[long range missile]] launcher mounted in its front.  Meant as a stand-off weapon only, the vehicle has only one ton of ammunition for it.  Also mounted in the front is a [[medium laser]]. These weapons are linked to an [[advanced fire control]], which enables the vehicle to fire with military precision.
