==Overview:==
The A27L-C Centaur was a 'Mech built mainly as concept fighting platform
verses a true front line machine.

The Trevithick Autosteam Combine design team want to use some of the new
technology that they had access to with the fall of the Blake regime and they
knew they needed something to offer to keep their bosses happy as well as keep
a paycheck.

Built partly on the Themoplis Station in Lunar orbit and at the main
Trevithick site on Terra, the Centaur came out as one would expect when a
group of techinical engineers and designers were allowed to build what they
wanted with very lose parameters and sizable budget to work with. Add in the
lure of new technology, the outcome is not always the most aspiring thing.
