While slightly slower than most other combat repsulortanks, the Praetorian is heavily armed with the most powerful energy-based primary cannon in the Imperial arsenal. Her range of operations is great, and the range of the primary weapon exceeds eight kilometers against armored or fortified targets. One light blaster on either side of the turret wards off any unwanted infantry should grenadier support be lacking. From the left-dorsal side of the turret adjacent the commander’s hatch is a single missile launcher, which can target and destroy and local aerial vehicle. The weapon is all bust useless against other surface vehicles, but very potent in its own.

The tank itself is an elongated repuslor platform with the drive system located aft of the turret, and the turret itself mounted atop a delta-shaped superstructure; it is a long triangle as well, with curved angles and sloped armor.

Each round for the primary weapon is self contained, allowing a general power failure to affect its performance insignificantly. While the targeting system itself would be inoperable, the weapon itself could be fired manually.
