The armoured hover train is, as the name suggests, a long train of armoured carriages that run along what is apparently a maglev track. They were also present on Kashyyyk, Thule, and Rhen Var. Here, one such tank was hijacked and destroyed by an ARC trooper on a covert mission deep within the Muunilinst capitol.Īccording to the Clone Wars video game, AATs were also present on the rocky plains of Geonosis, and functioned just as well as they did on the plains of Naboo. The AAT continued to see action in the Clone Wars fighting on a multitude of worlds, including Muunilinst. While relatively quick compared to "walking" vehicles (such as the AT-TE), it is slow compared to smaller floating craft, such as the Naboo Gian Speeder or single-droid STAP. Its crew consists of 4 battle droids (commander, pilot, 2 gunners). Its energy weapons consist of two forward-firing, fixed blasters mounted on the craft's "wings", and a heavy blaster mounted on a dorsally-mounted turret with a 360-degree traverse. When it runs out of ammo, it returns to its carrier to have its whole bottom replaced with a new one.
The vehicle was designed by Baktoid Armor factories, with most important parts in the rear. They were also seen very briefly in the far background alongside Homing Spider Droids in Revenge of the Sith, during the Order 66 sequence on Felucia. It also appears in several video games, such as Clone Wars, Battlefront, Battlefront II, Battle for Naboo, and Phantom Menace. It was first seen in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The Armored Assault Tank or AAT is a large repulsor tank used mainly by the Trade Federation. However, if the pilot boosted for too long he could risk a complete engine burnout, and while boosting, power to other systems like the inertial compensator and blasters was dropped substantially. The 74-Z could also boost power to the repulsorlift engines for a short time, resulting in incredibly powerful quick bursts of speed used for things like getting out of a particularly sticky situation or catching up to a fast-fleeing enemy. The 74-Z could perform many roles, from scouting to antipersonnel ‘mop-up’ operations to getting information to and from isolated outposts with no comm capability, being used as a makeshift field ambulance and even performing hit-and-run sabotage missions against highly defended enemy targets. It was primarily carried by LAAT/i or LAAT/v troop gunships and dropped when below the repulsor engines’ maximum height capability. It was much faster and more manoeuvrable than its Separatist equivalent, the STAP, and packed almost the same amount of firepower. The Aratech 74-Z speeder bike was the Republic’s primary reconnaissance and light scout/antipersonnel vehicle of the Clone Wars.
