Editing Coronus Grav Carrier (section)

==Overview==
This heavily protected transport skimmer provides them with a degree of speed and agility unmatched by the grinding armor of others who fight in the name of the Emperor, allowing the Legio Custodes to deploy rapidly into a range of terrain whilst reducing the risk of being pinned down by enemy forces. You could say that in contrast to the [[Eldar]] tanks, what it lacks in elegance makes up for it pimpin''''''BLING'''''. The Custodes sure know how to ride in style.

Principally used as a transport (Hence its fucking name if you haven't even guessed) and like [[Leman Russ Battle Tank|every]] [[Rhino|other]] [[Baneblade|fucking]] [[Land Raider|vehicle]] [[Chimera Transport|palette]] [[Malcador Heavy Tank|swap]] [[Sentinel|in]] [[Imperium of Man|the Imperium,]] the strikingly-designed Custodes exclusive Coronus Grav Carrier served as the technological basis for the [[Pallas Grav-Attack|Pallas]] and [[Caladius Grav-Tank|Caladius grav-craft.]] Seriously you would think that the Imperium would have been much more creative with their vehicle designs during the [[Great Crusade]], but it seems that the Emperor/Fabricator General of Mars really, <u>'''''really'''''</u> liked the whole idea of 'swapping the turret on a vehicle chassis and call it a day' shlick. (That was actually a good idea, mind. Common chassis = easier to maintain & less total amount of different spare parts required.)

While its primary function is transporting a unit of warriors into battle, its armaments such as its hull-mounted Lastrum bolt cannon and turret-mounted Arachnus blaze cannon ensure that it is more than capable of mounting an appropriately aggressive defense force. Trying to ram the Coronus onto enemy infantry like a Leman Russ or trying to do a anti-grav wheelie is highly looked down upon by the [[Techpriest|Techpriests]] of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

For the scholars among the noble fa/tg/uys and ca/tg/irls, the Gothic name Coronus may be analyzed as a possible mutation of two words related to Old Earth : the Latin word '''''corona''''' ("crown", guess [[Emperor of Mankind|which monarch we are talking about]]) or '''Cronus''', the Latin name of the Greek god [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cronus Kronos] - you know, the guy who cut his father Uranus' balls with a scythe. Accordingly, the name Coronus would then expess both the Emperor's kingship and the destruction of the tyrannical (and more generaly rival) powers standing against him and the rise of Mankind.
