The '''Coronus Grav-Carrier''' is a type of [[Grav-Tank]] and armored personnel carrier used by the [[Custodian Guard]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].
===Overview===
A technologically advanced vehicle, it was only produced in limited numbers and replaced the [[Jocasta]] grav-carriers previously used by the Custodes during the [[Unification Wars]].{{Fn|2}}
The Coronus Grav-carrier is perhaps one of the most recognized vehicles used exclusively by the Legio Custodes. 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.
Principally used as a transport, the strikingly-designed Legio Custodes Coronus Grav-carrier served as the technological basis for the [[Pallas]] and [[Caladius]] grav-craft. While its primary function is transporting a unit of warriors into battle, its armaments – hull-mounted [[Lastrum Bolt Cannon]] and turret-mounted [[Arachnus Blaze Cannon]] – ensure that it is more than capable of mounting appropriately aggressive defenses.{{Fn|1}} These vehicles are further equipped with [[Flare Shield|Flare Shields]].{{Fn|2}}
