==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Centurion''''' [[OmniMech]] was born out of a desire on the part of [[Corean Enterprises]] to expand the company's market share in the 3110s. Manufactured primarily at the Corean Enterprises' site on [[New Avalon]] and weighing in at 50 tons, the ''Centurion'' mounted a [[Magna 250]] [[XL engine]], allowing it to run at 86 km/h, and mounts nine and a half tons of [[standard armor]]. With 10 fixed [[double heat sink]]s, the ''Centurion'' has 24 tons of [[pod space]] available, almost half the total weight of the [['Mech]], and the most common variants of the ''Centurion'' echo the various variants of the original ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'' [[BattleMech]] developed over the centuries.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp40+"/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The Primary configuration of the ''Centurion'' mounts an [[LB 10-X AC]], two [[ER medium laser]]s, and a single [[LRM-10]] with [[Artemis IV FCS]]. It carries two tons of ammunition for the autocannon and the LRM-10, stored in the right torso and protected by [[CASE II]]. While the weapons are more advanced, the configuration of those weapons matches that of the ubiquitous [[Centurion (BattleMech)|CN9-D ''Centurion'']], save for the [[medium laser]]s being extended range.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp40+"/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : The ''Centurion'' A drops the rear-firing [[ER medium laser]] of the Primary configuration, swaps the [[LB 10-X AC]] for a [[rotary AC/5]] and replaces the [[LRM-10]] with an [[MML-9]], keeping the [[Artemis IV FCS]] in place. The ''Centurion'' A carries an additional ton of autocannon ammunition for the rotary AC/5. BV (2.0) = 1,398.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp40+"/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 201</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration B : A more radical departure from the Primary configuration than the ''Centurion'' A, the ''Centurion'' B drops the [[ER medium laser]]s completely, as well as the [[LB 10-X AC]] and [[LRM-10]]. Instead, the ''Centurion'' B mounts a [[heavy PPC]] in the right arm and an [[MML-7]] enhanced with [[Artemis IV FCS]] in the left torso. A [[targeting computer]] in the center torso adds to the accuracy of the weapons load, and two tons of ammunition for the missile system are stored in the right torso and protected by [[CASE II]]. One ton of [[pod space]] is taken up with an additional [[double heat sink]], and mounted in the right torso is a [[Guardian ECM suite]].

*; Alternate Configuration C : The ''Centurion'' C retains the [[ER medium laser]]s and [[LRM-10]] system of the Primary configuration, but removes the [[LB 10-X AC]]; in its place, the ''Centurion'' C carries a [[plasma rifle]], with two tons of ammunition for the rifle stored in the right arm along with the rifle itself. While the LRM ammunition is still protected by [[CASE II]], the 'Mech itself is protected by a [[Guardian ECM suite]] located in the right torso. One of the most mobile configurations of the OmniMech, the ''Centurion'' C fills out the remaining [[pod space]] with five [[jump jet]]s split across the three torso areas, and a [[C3 slave unit]] is used for sharing targeting information.

*; Alternate Configuration D : Very different in appearance to the other configurations, the ''Centurion'' D replaces the equipment loadout almost completely. Two [[ER medium laser]]s are mounted in the center torso, but both point forwards; an [[MML-9]] in the right torso is supplied with two tons of [[CASE II]]-protected ammunition stored in the left torso, and a single [[ER small laser]] in the left torso protects the rear of the ''Centurion'' D. The ''Centurion'' D also mounts a [[hatchet]] in the right arm and a [[medium shield]] on the left arm, with two [[jump jet]]s in each of the left and right torsos to improve the 'Mech's mobility. BV (2.0) = 1,177.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp40+"/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 204</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration E : The fifth alternate configuration to be in common use by [[3145]], the ''Centurion'' E mounts fewer weapon systems than any of the others; two [[ER medium laser]]s are mounted in the center torso covering the forward arc, and mounted in the right arm is a mighty [[Gauss rifle]], with two tons of ammunition for the rifle stored in the right torso. The remaining [[pod space]] is filled with an [[Angel ECM suite]] in the left torso and a [[C3 boosted slave]] in the center torso.
