Seismic tank

A seismic tank, or seismic charge minelayer, was a repulsorcraft that traveled very close to the surface of a planet and inflicted damage to an opposing force by ejecting downward a large piston on it, smashing them, and then creating a shockwave that rippled away from its impact zone.

The seismic tank was used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the Battle of Dantooine, where Jedi Master Mace Windu single-handedly took down a seismic tank during the battle.



Because of the vehicle's massive size and slow movement, it would have made an easy target for enemy artillery and gunships. As a result, it is unlikely that the seismic tank served as an effective weapon or saw any substantial action during the Clone Wars.

When the Separatist Council was assassinated by Darth Vader, any remaining units were most likely de-activated.
