Centaur LAV
« on: 16 September 2017, 20:37:12 »
Lorebits:

The lightly armed-and-armored Centaur Guntruck is an uncommon example of multi-role IFV and LAV usage in the Lyran Warmachine, among other places.

Build for Urban conflict and infantry support, this low-impact, low-footprint, and low-maintenniance vehicle, by design rugged and easy to maintain, makes it an ever-popular choice for Lyran militias and FedCom-backed Mercenaries. Mounting an LB-10X Autocannon and a quadruple set of MGs, the latter mounted in a turret, the Centaur's fighting ability is primarily hampered by a weak skin of armor.

The original Centaur LAV, a proud standby in Lyran Militias, Mercenary Motor Pools, and Police Teams;

Overview:
The lightly armed-and-armored Centaur Guntruck is an uncommon example of
multi-role IFV and LAV usage in the Lyran Warmachine.


Build for Urban conflict and infantry support, this low-impact, low-footprint,
and low-maintenniance vehicle, by design rugged and easy to maintain, makes it
an ever-popular choice for Lyran militias and FedCom-backed Mercenaries.
Mounting an LB-10X Autocannon and a quadruple set of MGs, the latter mounted in
a turret, the Centaur's fighting ability is primarily hampered by a weak skin
of armor.


Variants:
Several variants of the Centaur LAV exist, mostly individually developed
depending on the needs of the unit that ordered them. The most popular refit is
also a simple field refit; The replacement of the quad Machine Gun system for
two flamers and an extra ton of armor.

Coincidentially, this refit also proved so popular that it became the de-facto
production model for the line, with the quad MG refit largely being relegated
to a "Police Work" model (With the MGs typically being given stun rounds as
opposed to lethal munitions.)

Other variants include the "Anti-Air" model, the faster and electronics-heavy
"Recon Support" model, and the rare "Sniper" model. In later years, the Centaur
was revitalized with new Republic of the Sphere and Federated Suns tech.

The upgraded model, trading shooty for burninating, and being far more popular than the original for people who want to get stuff done with purifying flame. Which is pretty much everyone.

The misnamed Anti-Air variant. Which, while marketed as Anti-Air, may actually be better at shooting pretty much anything, and probably a better idea to bring a RAC-5 to the table rather than paying for a Blade.

The Federated Suns Dark Age variant, for shooting those heavily armored Kuritan machines. Not that it'll do much, but three SRM-4s ensure that you'll be a nasty threat for pretty much any non-hardened/ferro/ballistic reinforced/reactive armored foe.

Overview:
The lightly armed-and-armored Centaur Guntruck is an uncommon example of
multi-role IFV and LAV usage in the Lyran Warmachine.


Build for Urban conflict and infantry support, this low-impact, low-footprint,
and low-maintenniance vehicle, by design rugged and easy to maintain, makes it
an ever-popular choice for Lyran militias and FedCom-backed Mercenaries.
Mounting an LB-10X Autocannon and a quadruple set of MGs, the latter mounted in
a turret, the Centaur's fighting ability is primarily hampered by a weak skin
of armor.


Variants:
Several variants of the Centaur LAV exist, mostly individually developed
depending on the needs of the unit that ordered them. The most popular refit is
also a simple field refit; The replacement of the quad Machine Gun system for
two flamers and an extra ton of armor.

Coincidentially, this refit also proved so popular that it became the de-facto
production model for the line, with the quad MG refit largely being relegated
to a "Police Work" model (With the MGs typically being given stun rounds as
opposed to lethal munitions.)

Other variants include the "Anti-Air" model, the faster and electronics-heavy
"Recon Support" model, and the rare "Sniper" model. In later years, the Centaur
was revitalized with new Republic of the Sphere and Federated Suns tech.

And last but not least, the Republic of the Sphere's rare version. While they might use pretty much every other variant, and share this variant with the Lyrans, this model is a speedy Gaussboat, and pretty much apes the original.

You know that this LAV is a Lyran Light Armoured Vehicle as it weighs the same as the Rommel and Patton, and outweighs the Manticore and Bulldog.
