Mobile Defense Unit

The Mobile Defense Unit (MDU) was a versatile vehicle capable of several configurations used in the Galactic Civil War from around 0 ABY.
Used by the Galactic Empire, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and the Zann Consortium, these vehicles were essentially mobile pads that were capable of being upgraded for a variety of tasks— tasks that a normal turret pad could not complete. However, a drawback to the design was that once a unit had deployed its equipment it was unable to move at all until the equipment was removed and the vehicle had packed up again.
==Varieties==
The MDU appeared consistent in design, but sported different colors and decals between the three factions.
===Rebel Alliance===
The Rebel Alliance could use these pads as a mobile shield generator that covered an area with the shield, a Rebel vehicle repair station that repaired vehicles in close proximity, and a rapid fire laser cannon effective against both infantry and vehicles.
===Galactic Empire===
The Empire could use these turrets as an EM field generator that jammed enemy missiles' guidance systems, keeping them from hitting their target, a concussion grenade mortar that could fire a volley of grenades, and an offensive sensor node that revealed a larger part of the map of the battlefield and could defend itself with an energy discharge weapon.
===Zann Consortium===
The Zann Consortium could use these pads as a sensor scrambler, jamming enemy missiles and hiding a limited number of units within a specific radius from enemy radar; a ysalamir cage, negating Force-related powers within a specified radius, causing them to be inactive; and a rocket pod that fired a volley of rockets that detonated on impact and could also be used as anti-aircraft weapon.
