The Praetor is a heavy Loyalist Mech, with one heavy and one turret hardpoint.
Acquisitions Entry[]
It's the nature of military engineering to take things too far. The Praetor represents that limit, as least as far as Loyalists are concerned. Touro's stouter younger brother, the Praetor is a command variant with major firepower and the ability to take a little more on the chin. Pays for it in tight corners though. Praetors are slower and can't turn for shit, but you can ride the thing straight through an enemy line and out the other side. Design Bureau laughed at Chief Engineer Halleck after that "maneuverability is for cowards" rant, but Praetors have plowed though walls and even minefields without a dent before, so who's to say? Besides, Halleck is second only to the Founders in the Praetor driver set.

Trivia[]
- Colonel Rome pilots a Praetor class mech (callsign "Wolfmother") in the Brigador Audiobook. According to it, it is outfitted for direct fire role with a 105mm Cannon (Presumably an Abbot) and a heavy machine gun for defense (Most likely a Mãe Dois 12.7mm). It would seem that Rome's Heavy mount has been downgraded to a Main, or rather, Praetors piloted by Brigadors have been upgunned to a heavier mount.
