The most prominent feature of the Centaur are its twin engines, mounted in its track sponsons, and a very large power pack for a vehicle of its size. Centaurs can also be adapted into command squad transports, communication vehicles, minesweepers and other functions. These vehicles are frequently modified with Extra Armour, especially around the driver and passenger compartments, for protection against shrapnel and other battlefield hazards and fitted with a spiked-ram for breaking through razorwire obstacles.
However Centaurs are also provided to Grenadiers as a means of fast battlefield transport.
Centaurs are typically used to tow field artillery pieces, such as Heavy Quad-Launchers and Heavy Mortars, and provide transport for the weapon's crew while they have limited armouring they are not intended to be front-line combat vehicles.
