The Imperial TOG Battleship Group reports that the last of the Renegade and Commonwealth naval units have been driven from space. TOG controls the system, but not the planet below. Orbital bombardment has been futile against the planetary defence installations. The Strike Legion is readied and the assault begins.
Screaming down through the atmosphere, with a fusion-created hell bursting all around, the assault boats release medium and light grav tanks 15 kilometres above the surface of the plane. After a brief and deadly fire fight with planetary militia, the landing zones are secured and the heavy equipment is off-loaded. The Legion's Cohorts form and move toward the first of their objectives, a Renegade Navy spaceport.
Travelling at over 300 kilometres per hour, the TOG grav tanks give up the safety of hugging the ground for speed. Suddenly artillery airbursts appear over the lead Century, as Renegade artillery rains mines down to block their path. At the same time, three TOG Aeneas light tanks explode as 150mm Gauss cannons rip open their bellies.
Rising up from their hidden position, Renegade Liberators ascend to meet the on-rushing TOG horde. A TOG Centurion orders his tanks down to deal with the threat. Artillery missions are called in, the orbital Thor satellites pick out targets to spear with their deadly falling javelins, and a pair of TOG Spiculum space fighters rush to engage a group of Renegade Guardians lifting off from a secret base. The battle for the planet has now begun.
Centurion is a game of tactical ground warfare in the 69th century. The Commonwealth and its Renegade Legion allies fight a desperate struggle against the Terran Overlord Government's attempt to conquer the galaxy. Players command grav tank units, infantry squads, orbital and conventional artillery, and space defence installations as they try to defeat their enemy.
