[[File:Prae3.jpg|thumb|right|The Praetor Armoured Assault Launcher.]]
The '''Praetor Armoured Assault Launcher''' is a variant of the [[Crassus Armoured Transport]]<sup>1</sup>. Armed with a Praetor multiple missile launcher (which the vehicle is named after), the Praetor is used for long range missile bombardment in support of [[Imperial Guard]] units. The Praetor missile launcher was last thought to have been used on the land-leviathans of the Tellarite Rebellion forces during the [[Nova Terra Interregnum]]. The [[STC]] template for the weapon was rediscovered -along with several others of note- by [[Tech-priest|tech-priests]] of the re-consecrated [[Forge World]] of Zhao-Arkkad. This led to the dissemmination of the Crassus chassis to introduce the Praetor weapon platform by Zhao-Arkkad's manufactoria. The Praetor has been spread to frontline regiments throughout [[Segmentum Tempestus]].
The Praetor is armed with a single Praetor Launcher, which can be fitted with a number of different munition types. In addition, the Praetor is armed with two heavy weapons sponsons, typically equipped with [[Heavy Bolters]], but can be exchanged for [[Heavy Flamers]], [[Autocannons]], or [[Lascannons]]. In addition, the Praetor can be fitted with numerous upgrades, including: a [[Hunter-killer missile]], [[Dozer Blade]], and a pintle-mounted [[Storm Bolter]] or [[Heavy Stubber]].<sup>2</sup>
