All Terrain Personal Transport

"Sure they don't look like much. But when you're trapped on Eos, where the electromagnetic fields keep "advanced" airspeeders grounded, you'll wish you had a whole fleet of AT-PTs."

- Imperial commander Brenn Tantor

The All Terrain Personal Transport (AT-PT) was a light anti-infantry walker used towards the later years of the Galactic Republic era. It was manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering, a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards.

Description
AT-PTs were made to take single troopers into intense combat situations on their own. They stood only 3 meters tall, and were driven by Imperial AT-PT pilots.

The AT-PT was lightly armored, and was armed with twin blaster cannons and one concussion grenade launcher, that were only effective against infantry. However, the walker's superior agility made up for its light armor.



History
The AT-PT was designed decades before the Clone Wars, but during the Wars the Republic found a need for a small, anti-personnel walker, and the AT-PT became more relevant.

The AT-PT was a limited production model, the majority of which were stationed aboard the Dreadnaughts of the legendary Katana fleet, and many were lost when the fleet itself vanished.

These walkers, along with the fleet, were rediscovered by the New Republic, and were used in the Republic's war with Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Many of the concepts pioneered in the AT-PT were used in the AT-AP, AT-ST and the AT-AT.

Later use
The Galactic Empire still utilized a limited number of these walkers, as did the Rebel Alliance. They were often used as sentries and patrol vehicles near Imperial installations.

A number of AT-PTs served as part of Blizzard Force during the Battle of Hoth, presumably in a rear-guard role.
