Armoured Assault Tank
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In the fictional Star Wars, the Armoured Assault Tank or AAT is a large repulsor tank used mainly by the Trade Federation in the Star Wars universe. It was first seen in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. It also appears in several video games, such as Clone Wars, Battlefront, Battle for Naboo, and Phantom Menace.
The vehicle was designed by Baktoid Armor factories, with most important parts in the rear. It carries a payload of 55 missiles. When it runs out of ammo, it returns to its carrier to have its whole bottom replaced with a new one. 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. Its crew consists of 4 battle droids (commander, pilot, 2 gunners). While relatively quick, it is slow compared to Gian and Flash speeders.
The AAT continued to see action in the Clone Wars fighting on a multitude of worlds, including Muunilinst. Here, one such tank was hijacked and destroyed by an ARC trooper on a covert mission deep within the Muunilinst capitol.
