Description
Centurions are heavy tracked APCs, designed to transport twelve Knights or twenty military personnel and their equipment into combat zones safely, ontime, and with all the lack of comfort that comes with traveling in a tracked vehicle. Their aerodynamic frontal plating splits through air and water, smashes through concrete walls, and lays enemies flat to better run them over. In the rear, an armoured door unfolds to serve as an unloading ramp. Powerful kinetic fields help round out the centurion’s nigh invulnerability. Centurion crews are composed of one pilot and a gunner or a copilot in charge of communications. Pilot and gunner have no direct exterior line of sight, and must rely on their AR screens to designate targets for the two roof-mounted automated turrets. These are most commonly equipped with a heavy machine gun and a rocket launcher.
Most centurions have nose art (similar to that of fighter planes) with Roman inspired imagery, usually eagles. They have historical or mythical Greek or Roman names, like Parmenion, Leonidas, Agamemnon, Nero, etc.
