## Description

The All Terrain Armored Transport was an imposing, heavily armoured, quadrupedal combat walker that stood 22.5 meters tall and could move 60 kph. Due to their impressive appearance, it was used as much for psychological effect as for tactical reasons. Additionally, it also served as transports for combat personnel. The vehicle's cockpit and sensor array were located in the "command pod" or "head" part of the walker, which also carried spot lights and the main armaments: dual Piperii-Cerlurn R-90C Medium Blasters located on the sides or "temples," and a pair of heavier Taim & Bak MS-1 heavy blaster cannons fitted on the "chin." Inside the cockpit stood an vehicle commander behind two AT-AT pilots who controlled the walker's movement. AT-AT pilots and personnel wore specialized suits in case the walker's pressurized cockpit was smashed open in hostile environments. However, the neck and joints were weak spots and could be damaged by blaster cannons and other heavy weaponry. The entire walker was vulnerable to other AT-AT fire, if one happened to be hijacked and turned against the other.

Connecting the "head" to the "body" was what was dubbed the "tunnel," which would lead to a troop compartment capable of ferrying numerous soldiers, along with a vehicle bay at the walker's rear that held five 74-Z speeder bikes. The main, rectangular troop hatch was located in the middle of the walker's side, two smaller escape hatches were located both to the main hatch's immediate left and right, and the auxiliary hatch was located in the walker's underside. The walker's tail end consisted of filtered atmosphere intakes on its upper part, while a blaster cannon energizer was located within. At the bottom of the behemoth was the walker's fuel slug tank, which had a reputation of being dangerous. The walker's four legs were aided with the assistance of ankle drive motors, while inside the giant footpads were several terrain scanners.

The Elite AT-AT, a more heavily-armored variant with a darker color scheme, was based off the body of this version.

## History

### Age of the Empire

"*I heard of these. Imperial armored transports. Giant four-legged things that were used to keep the peace on conquered worlds.*"
―Scoggan to Davjan Igo upon entering the ruins of an AT-AT (True Love)
This model succeeded the model used in the pre-Galactic Civil War conflict against the rebellion. Plans for this version existed as early as 4 BBY.
