The Platoon Attack Craft (PAC) or the Trade Federation Troop Carrier is a Confederacy of Independent Systems troop carrier used during the Pre-Clone Wars, Clone Wars, and the The Last of the Droids eras. Platoon Attack Crafts were sold to the Confederacy of Independent Systems when the Trade Federation joined. PACs used to have B1 Battle Droids shut down and whenever the Droid Control Ship activated the droids they would rise and attack. During the Clone Wars era, Platoon Attack Crafts had 112 B1s standing on the craft and then attack when they got off. Platoon Attack Crafts make a comeback during The Last of the Droids era helping Trench & Grievous fight the Galactic Empire for peace.
Characteristics[]
The Platoon Attack Craft is a repulsorcraft troop transport. It was manufactured by the Baktoid Armor Workshop, which was also responsible for the creation of the Armored Assault Tanks and Multi-Troop Transports for the Trade Federation Droid Army. The PAC is piloted by two OOM Pilot Droids, and it can carry 112 B1 Battle Droids or 20 Droidekas.
This repulsorcraft is an unarmed variant of the Multi-Troop Transport, and as it had no heavy artillery, it had to rely on AATs and Battle Droids for protection, often deployed in safe locations away from battle. Because of the fact that it had no weapons, it was fast and agile, unlike the heavily armed MTT.
