The Chateau is a 60-ton Wheeled Garrison Vehicle. With a pair of PPCs, space for a platoons worth of infantry plus Kitchen amenities, the Chateau draws it's name from being more of a house than a vehicle. [ Or a Trailer! :B ] This is reflected in it's 1/2 movement speed. However, when placed in Neutral Gear, the Trailer Hitch allows the Chateau to be hauled expeditiously over distances. Heavy armor ensures the Chateau can take a reasonable pounding for it's unit type, while the cost is rather low for a vehicle of it's weight. This unit was meant to function in the garrison role, thus not far from supply lines, or even guarding depots. However, with some logistics support, the Chateau can be used as a long range PPC Carrier / APC, to provide infantry and direct fire support to a force on the move... provided it has something to tow it.

Is this an ICE or fusion powered unit? Yeah, the lack of transmission weight would say ICE, but no data on the heat sinks needed to fire the ppcs. So is it 10 or 20 that need to be weight out?

Now the question of the speed. Is there some reason it was made to go that slow?
Also. Is it a typo for having a rear and a front turret?

It seems too slow to be of any combat value, even behind the lines for feeding the troops. The use of energy weapons would suggest it more for away from supply lines, then if it was ammo dependent. Being towed by another unit would be unlikely, as most combat units would prefer to tow ammo or say a non engine gun, like a howitzer.
