The All Terrain Attack Pod (AT-AP), or Pod Attack Walker (PAW), is a tripedal walker that evolved from the AT-PT and AT-TE walkers towards the end of the Clone Wars. They were used by the evil Grand Army of the Republic and later the evil Imperial Army.
Characteristics[]
The AT-AP (All Terrain Attack Pod) is conceived as a means of transporting a piece of heavy artillery across the battlefront. Its main function is to serve as a mobile gun platform used for shelling enemy positions, rather than attacking troops or other vehicles. It features highly-advanced targeting systems that led to it being nicknamed the "sniper tank." Although classified as a two-legged walker, the AT-AP does have a third leg hanging from underneath the fuselage designed to help stabilize the walker. It will extend and deploy at the operator's discretion: typically when overcoming rough terrain or firing its main gun.
The AT-AP is armed with a mass-driver cannon fixed to the front of the craft, a heavy blaster cannon mounted on a turret (which has an open-cockpit, making the gunner susceptible to enemy infantry fire), and a medium laser cannon at the bottom of the main fuselage. Behind the main weapon's gunner's saddle is a supply cage filled with tools necessary for repairing any mechanical failure to the walker's articulation assembly.
