Republic Armored Assault Walker
Instead of redesigning the old Imperial AT-AT for the New Republic, Kuat
Drive Yards opted to go ahead and use a new walker design that they had
originally created around the time of the downfall of the Empire.
The design, the I-AAW (Imperial Armored Assault Walker) is somewhat
larger than the AT-AT, offers greater firepower and stronger armor,
but the same troop carrying capacity of the AT-AT. The I-AAW was
renamed the R-AAW for obvious reasons.
The main weapons on the R-AAW are the same as that on the AT-AT, a pair
of fire-linked heavy laser cannons and a pair of fire-linked medium
blaster cannons. However, the R-AAW's arsenal is augmented with a pair
of repeating blasters which are able to lay down antipersonnel fire
along the right and left fire arcs.
R-AAWs are giant four legged Imperial assault vehicles. They are virtually
impervious to all but heavy artillery weapons. They form the core of only a
handful of Republic heavy ground assaults (due to their cost, they are rare),
and are often the first vehicles to leave their transport shuttle barges or
drop ships and enter a combat zone. R-AAW walkers are used to crush and
demoralize enemy forces. They also act as transports for Republic ground
troops and light vehicles.
