T2-E Petard-class combat engineering vehicle

The T2-E Petard-class combat engineering vehicle, known simply as the Petard-class, was a light hovertank manufactured by Yutrane-Trackata. It was based on the T2-B Repulsor Tank's chassis and was designed to provide combat engineering units with heavy siege capabilities while doubling as a light secondary engineering vehicle.
==Characteristics==
The Petard-class was a light, relatively manoeuvrable, low-profile, hovertank. It was based on the T2-B Repulsor Tank's chassis and was equipped with a turret-mounted demolition gun, which could fire large-calibre, fin-stabilized, shaped charges designed specifically to destroy fortifications and buildings. It also had a forward-mounted auto-blaster that provided the vehicle with anti-personnel and anti-vehicle capabilities. The auto-blaster could be switched out with a heavy flamethrower, for higher damage against fortifications and installations.
The vehicle was also equipped with multiple construction systems. An articulated blade was mounted to the front of the Petard angular hull, in addition to a light tractor beam projector. While it didn't have room for passengers, it did have a crew composed of a commander, a pilot, and a gunner. The vehicle was orange and white in color, had a maximum hovering altitude of three meters, and cost 88,000 credits on the market.
==Role==
The T2-E Petard-class combat engineering vehicle was primarily designed as a fighting vehicle, but was also equipped to do construction. It was used to siege enemy fortifications and installations and also doubled as a light secondary engineering vehicle. Its articulated blade could be used for pushing and grabbing, and its light tractor beam projector could lift and tow objects.
==History==
Manufactured by Yutrane-Trackata, the T2-E Petard-class was used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic's combat engineering units during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire.
==Behind the scenes==
The T2-E Petard-class combat engineering vehicle was first mentioned in Fully Operational, a 2018 sourcebook for the Star Wars: Age of Rebellion roleplaying game published by Fantasy Flight Games.
