Description: The AST-5 Armored Sentinel Transport was an atmospheric combat vehicle.

The vehicle featured two blaster cannons, each capable of swiveling 360 degrees. The vehicle had a "sentry" mode, an "attack" mode wherein the engine section would rotate to a 90-degree angle with the pilot section, and a "pursuit" mode where the engine section would rotate to a parallel position with the pilot section.

Pilots of the AST-5 were known to include the Klaatu and bounty hunter Boba Fett. Jabba's hired enforcers also patrolled Tatooine in Armored Sentinel Transports.
