Line 34: Duncan Enterprises used the chassis of the Praetorian as the basis of the vehicle. Engineers would end up stripping out the heavier vehicle's more advanced gear and armor to reduce costs. This left the Quaestor sharing the same dimensions and general appearance of the larger vehicle, although thirty tons lighter and far roomier inside. Powered by a 180-rated fusion engine, the vehicle is able move up to 90 km/h, the same speed as the Tribune. For its role as a command vehicle, the Quaestor matches the Tribune's 5-tons of [[Communication Equipment]], giving the command staff the ability to jam enemy transmissions, provide advance intelligence allowing units tied into the vehicle to gain the initiative on enemy troops via satellite connections, remote relays and more. Additionally a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] is fitted giving it an additional boost in electronic warfare capacities. The vehicle's crew must use its swift speed to help improve its odds of surviving in battle; this is partially due to the vehicle being armored with only six tons of [[standard armor]], which gives it modest protection should it be cornered.
