A Centurion is a more elite soldier of the Alliance military. Just as with the Colonial Legionnaires, any of the races in the Terran Alliance can become a Centurion.

Centurions are always deployed in squads of 10. The sizes and amounts that may be deployed vary widly beyond that.

A Centurion has an appearance similar to this:

The Centurions are the heroes of the Alliance. Everyone who wants to fight wants to be a Centurion, though not everyone has it in them. The Centurion's white body armour is a marvel of Terran engineering. It is hermetically sealed, and capable of sustaining the Centurion in the void of space. It is capable of turning aside most blows, and is designed to present no weak points to the enemy. There are no eye slits, and instead, there is a multitude of advanced sensors. The Centurions are implanted with multiple advanced cybernetics early in their training. These give them many beneficial effects, including pain negation. Nothing short of an instantly fatal wound can stop a Centurion. They are also granted an AI, called a Familiar, which helps operate their equipment and protect them from cyberattacks. Thanks to this, and the advanced sensors, it's very hard to get the jump on a Centurion.

The Centurions have access to a number of specialized weapons that the Legionnaires can only dream of. Each of them have no trigger, and are connected to the Centurion wirelessly. The Centurion fires the weapon at the speed of thought, and nobody else can use the Centurion's weapon. They are also capable of switching their point of view to a gun's eye view, allowing them to fire around corners or over cover without ever exposing themselves.

The standard weapon of the Centurions is the Dragon laser gun, which fires on full auto, much faster than a standard laser rifle is capable of. They were used to devastating effect against the Ravasect swarms.

Some teams may be equipped with so-called "Blazer Rifles", which are a variant of laser rifles, which are semi automatic, and fire at greater strength than the average laser rifle, though not as powerful as a plasma rifle. Speaking of which...

Some Centurions may wield so-called magma cannons, a more advanced version of the Legionnaire's plasma rifle. It is much heavier, but a Centurion can wield it better than the average person. It is used for vehicle hunting, but it can be used to all sorts of effect.

Occasionally entire teams of Centurions will be equipped with this next weapon, a Marksman class laser rifle. This sniper rifle has a very sturdy and reliable design, and is devastating against infantry, even at closer ranges than a sniper rifle would normally allow.

Centurions are often equipped with even more esoteric weaponry, tailored to fit their mission, including grenade lauchers, radiation guns, and even laser HMGs.

Some Centurions will also be granted special active camoflauge cloaking systems.
