================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Praetorian design was first thought of by people with an affinity for the old reliable
    centurian design.  The initial thought was creating a "big brother" to the old centurian
    design.  The first mechs off of the line were sent immeditalely into action in units which
    were staunchly loyal to Prince Victor Steiner-Davian.  They were immensely popular as an
    assault mech with fierce firepower although somewhat of a heat problem.

Capabilities:
    The introduction of a Rotary Autocannon on this design in much the same fashion as the
    centurian mounts an autocannon in the arm.  The great firepower provided by the RAC is
    complemented by five energy weapons and an LRM system to give it a bit of long range
    capability.

Deployment:
    Saw extensive action near the end of the FedCom Civil War proving its reliability in combat
    and endearing itself to its pilots.  Since the end of the war there are about a battalion's
    worth of Praetorians in service to the AFFS.  Plans are moving forward for more widespread
    production of this solid mech design.
