Ground Armored Tank

The Ground Armored Tank (or GAT) was the Confederacy of Independent Systems' equivalent to the Republic TX-130S fighter tank.

The vehicle's armament consisted of two medium laser cannons and two missile launchers. It was built by Baktoid Armour Workshop and, like many Separatist vehicles, the GAT was piloted by an integrated droid brain. The GAT droid tank could perform various missions, including reconnaissance and attack. It was heavily armed and could withstand heavy fire.

The GAT received heavy use early on in the war, serving alongside the larger AAT. It had heavy armor, and its high speed made it excellent for hit and run attacks. It was often used in conjunction with the STAP.

Following the execution of the Separatist Council by Darth Sidious's new apprentice, Darth Vader, these units were de-activated. However, some were re-activated on planets of little or no strategic value.
