==Overview:==
     The Centurion was originally designed to compliment the Trebuchet fire
support BattleMech. To allow the Centurion to perform this duty, it was
equipped with a heavy and varied arsenal that allows it to strike at enemy
units at a variety of ranges. The top speed of the Centurion is 64.8 km/h.
While this is slower than the Trebuchet that it guards by 22 km/h, it is
capable of keeping up with most fire support 'Mechs and the Centurion has made
a reputation for itself as a front line combat 'Mech. In order to keep up with
demand, Corean Enterprises licensed the design to Jalastar Aerospace in 3047.

==Capabilities:==
    Another one-off variant of the venerable Centurion that first appeared on
Solaris VII, the CN9-X started life as a CN9-D5 built by Corean Enterprises on
New Avalon. Bought from a folding stable, it was modified, removing the C3
slave unit and MASC. The armor was upgraded to ferro-fibrous and the expensive
endo-steel internal strucure was replaced with one of standard materials as a
cost-saving measure. An additional pair of Diverse Optics extended-range
medium lasers was added to enhance its mid-range firepower and to help
minimize the 'Mech's dependence on ammunition-based weapons. For increased
mobility, a set of jump jets were added, enough to allow it to move just about
as fast in the air as it did on the ground.
     This model saw some success in the Solaris medium circuit, and limited
numbers of 'Mechs along this design were built and sold to a handful of
mercenary groups, as well as the AFFS for testing and evaluation.

==Battle History:==


==Variants:==
  One proposed sub-variant, CN9-X2, would replace the 'Mech's ten double heat
sinks and replace them with single heat sinks, and then replace the standard
myomer bundles with triple-strength strands, to enhance the 'Mech's movement
capabilities while in combat. This has the significant drawback of the 'Mech
becoming much more susceptible to the dangers of heat overload, such as 'Mech
shutdowns and ammunition explosions.
