Ground Operations
The Centurion's ground-combat package
Firepower alone does not define the Centurion. The four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret, terrain, protection, and a clear supporting role decide where it belongs in the formation. The Centurion's rear gunner controls a four-gun Size 4 anti-air turret. A solo driver can change seats to use it, while a two-person crew can keep the vehicle moving and firing at the same time.
Built in an evolving universe
The Centurion is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.17.2. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Ground systems
The Centurion's surface-combat package
The Centurion combines the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret with armor and surface mobility so it can support the fight without becoming a fixed position.
01
Rotatable Turret and Gunner's Seat
The Centurion's rear gunner controls a four-gun Size 4 anti-air turret. A solo driver can change seats to use it, while a two-person crew can keep the vehicle moving and firing at the same time.
02
Defensive turret on the Centurion
A size-3 gun turret, which is controlled by the driver, can be used for fending off targets that get too close.
03
Deployable Stabilizers
For a stable platform and to compensate for recoil, stabilizing legs must be deployed while stationary before firing.
04
Crew visibility on the Centurion
The Centurion's driver and weapon operator need a shared picture of threats, terrain, and nearby friendly units.
05
Centurion's weapon arc
Terrain and hull position determine where the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret can fire without exposing more of the Centurion than necessary.
Defining feature
The Centurion short-range air-defense battery
A rear gunner controls the Centurion's rotating quad mount and its four Size 4 energy cannons. The driver retains a separate Size 3 defensive turret, while deployable stabilizers create a steadier firing platform against aircraft overhead.
Why it matters
Four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret
4 x S4Main cannons
Rear gunnerMain operator
1 x S3Defensive turret
StabilizersFiring support
The Centurion needs a clear field of fire and time to deploy before the quad turret can provide its best short-range coverage.
A dedicated rear gunner controls the rotating main battery while the driver keeps the vehicle positioned and watches the ground route.
The secondary turret helps discourage threats that approach too close while the main gunner remains focused on the air.
Move, set, track, relocate
The Centurion's place in a ground formation
The Centurion supports the ground force by choosing terrain carefully and bringing the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret onto the threats that matter to the people or vehicles it protects.
Move
Stay close to the force that needs cover
The Centurion should protect a convoy, landing zone, or worksite instead of searching for aircraft far from friendly vehicles.
Set
Take a position with a clear view of the sky
Aboard the Centurion, terrain can hide the vehicle, but it must still leave sensors and weapons enough room to track an approaching ship.
Track
Track the target
The Centurion's operator keeps the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret supplied and close enough to support infantry or vehicles at the objective.
Relocate
Move after revealing the firing position
For the Centurion, changing position makes it harder for aircraft to return fire on a known point and keeps the air-defense screen useful.
Surface details
The Centurion, from crew stations to weapon systems
The Centurion brings its four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret to the ground force, with armor and mobility to stay protected and move with nearby units.
01Armored hull
The Centurion's heavy armor protects its occupants from ground fire and attacks from above while crossing a combat area.
02Equipment Stowage on the Centurion
The Centurion features 1 SCU internal storage, a 0.5 SCU storage locker, and a dedicated gun rack.
03Targeting from the Centurion
For the Centurion, sensors and crew visibility help the vehicle bring the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret onto the threat that matters to the ground force.
04Centurion protection
For the Centurion, armor, profile, and movement keep the vehicle useful while it supports people or vehicles around the objective.
Crew and operation
The Centurion's crew divides movement, weapons, and awareness
The driver keeps the vehicle positioned and mobile while the gunner or support crew manages the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret, target calls, and threats outside the driver's view.
People behind the systems
Driver Weapon station Team
Separate crew roles make the Centurion more effective on the ground
Aboard the Centurion, the driver can concentrate on terrain and survival while another crew member manages the main weapon or specialist system.
Keep the Centurion moving with the force
The driver chooses cover and a route that keeps the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret available without fixing the Centurion in a poor position.
Assign the Centurion's main weapon to one operator
Aboard the Centurion, target calls and vehicle movement help the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret remain relevant as the ground fight changes.
Coordinate the Centurion with nearby units
On the Centurion, short calls about targets, cover, ammunition, and vehicle condition help the crew keep the four Size 4 energy cannons backed by a defensive turret working with the ground force.
