All Terrain Armored Transport

The All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) was a quadrupedal combat walker used by the ground forces of the Galactic Empire. Along with the Imperator-class battleship, the Stormtrooper Corps and the TIE/LN space superiority fighter, it was one of the most visible symbols of the Empire's military might.
== Description ==
The AT-AT was a heavily armored, quadrupedal combat walker, standing at a height of 22.5 meters. It was armed with two fire-linked heavy blaster cannons mounted under its "chin", and two medium blaster cannons mounted on its "temples".
AT-ATs were often modified to suit the local environmental conditions of the planet to which they were deployed; these modifications included gas filters, heat recirculators, de-icing controls, energy efficient environmental controls, and corrosion-resistant armor coatings.
== History ==
=== Clone Wars ===
The first-generation AT-AT walkers saw their debut during the Battle of Jabiim. During this battle, the overwhelmed Confederacy forces were annihilated. Their significance waned, however, when the walkers were bogged down by the muddy surface of the planet, rendering them vulnerable to anti-tank weapons. At some point, at least one managed to fall into the hands of the CIS, who transported it to a research facility on Diado.
AT-AT walkers were later deployed on Voska, where they proved crucial to Republic advances against Confederate fortifications.
=== Age of the Empire ===
Following the end of the Clone Wars, the AT-AT remained in Imperial service, with the remaing first-generation units seeing significant action during the Reconquest of the Rim.
During the Galactic Civil War, the second-generation AT-AT, which boasted a number of improvements over the first-generation model was developed under the direction of General Maximilian Veers. Several units were being tested on the planet Carida when the Rebel Alliance attacked. The AT-AT was instrumental in winning the battle. In the months following the Battle of Yavin, the walkers were deployed on a wide array of worlds, including Corellia, Chandrila, and Ghorman.
