User:144-Patient Appelant/Proeliator

Proeliators are mechanized, AI-controlled combat units developed by the Thanix Royal Army for the Thanix Assimilation. Though they are nowhere near as efficient as the Praetorians, the Proeliators are still a highly-valued armored unit for the Assimilation. They are heavily-armored machines controlled by adequately-advanced AI. They are equipped with two back-mounted missile pods which launch Pulse Rockets similar to that of a Forerunner Enforcer Sentinel. On the torso of the Proeliator is four nodes which launch electrically-charged spike projectiles in a fashion similar to that of the Needle Rifle.

These spikes are super-heated by the electrical-charge and accelerated via magnetic propulsion systems. The Proeliator's main weapon is it's arm-mounted particle cannon which launches charged particles at a steady rate-of-fire. Since the introduction of the Praetorian, the Proeliator's have seen far-less combat and are steadily being replaced due to the Praetorian's advanced artificial intelligence, armament, and combat effectiveness. Now, Proeliator's are usually used as cannon-fodder and outpost defense units.
