The '''Centipede''' scout car was produced by [[Gienah Combat Vehicles]] & [[Red Devil Industries]] in [[3053]]. The vehicle is intended for reconnaissance ahead of its command unit, spotting hidden units.
 
The '''Centipede''' scout car was produced by [[Gienah Combat Vehicles]] & [[Red Devil Industries]] in [[3053]]. The vehicle is intended for reconnaissance ahead of its command unit, spotting hidden units.
  
It was originally created as a replacement for the [[Skulker (Combat Vehicle)|Skulker]] Scout vehicle, since [[Clan Ghost Bear]] had captured [[Alshain]] and, subsequently, the older vehicle's production facilities, in [[3051]].  The design evolved from a simple Skulker upgrade to a completely new vehicle.  It first saw service with [[AFFC]] forces in [[3054]].  The vehicle was produced at Gienah's plant on [[Gienah]] and Red Devil's plant on [[Pandora]].  However, the vehicle earned a reputation for the poor quality of Red Devil-produced vehicles.<ref name=TRO3058p12>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 12</ref>

During the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3064)|Jade Falcon Incursion]] in [[3064]], the vehicle's Pandora factory fell to [[Clan Jade Falcon]].  Vehicle production completely stopped in [[3068]], when the Gienah plant was severely damaged by Free Worlds League mercenaries.

*; TAG : Introduced during the [[FedCom Civil War]] in [[3067]], this customer-ordered variant was first provided to the [[7th Donegal Guards|7th Donegal Guards's Armor Brigade]]. This variant replaces the vehicle's medium laser in favor for a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]]. The vehicle has increased armor protection and receives a [[Guardian ECM]].

*;SRM : Also introduced during the FedCom Civil War in [[3062]], this is a battlefield-created variant. All the Centipede's original equipment is removed in favor for six front-mounted [[SRM 2|twin-tubed short range missile launchers]] and a ton of ammunition. The vehicle's armor has been slightly increased from the base model. BV (1.0) = 301,<ref name=RS:3058Up71/> BV (2.0) = 431<ref name=RS:3058UISp13/>

*;Commando : An updated variant, this version of the Centipede was released in [[3074]]. It carries four tons of [[Glazed Armor]] for protection, as the engineers thought it would likely take fire from energy weapons. A [[Guardian ECM Suite]] confuses enemy targeting systems as well. Additionally the Centipede Commando is equipped with an [[Armored Motive System]] that makes it less vulnerable to destroyed hoverskirts. Engineers also replaced the expensive [[fusion reactor]] with a [[fuel cell]] power source that can propel the Centipede Commando at up to 140 km/h. The standard weapons were replaced by a pair of turret-mounted [[Magshot]]s. These ballistic weapons allowed engineers to remove the power amplifiers and heat sinks needed by other Centipede versions while still providing some harassing fire capability. BV (2.0) = 455<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Steiner'', p. 10</ref>
