Heavy Artillery Gun



The Heavy Artillery Gun, HAG or Mortar Tank, was a mobile repulsorlift artillery piece used by the Trade Federation and, later, the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The HAG in its first version, a long repulsorlift vehicle bearing resemblance to the Trade Federation's Multi-Troop Transports, saw its first major engagement at the Battle of Naboo. They were a key component of a plan to send a flanking army to destroy a Naboo resistance camp before moving to attack the Gungan Grand Army. Though the HAGs held the potential to devastate the turrets protecting the encampment, their heavy armor did not protect them from the powerful explosives of Havoc, Nym's personal craft, as he helped defend the encampment.

Another version of the HAG, this time resembling an AAT but with large, yellow photoreceptors on its front 'foot', saw use throughout the Clone Wars, where necessity pushed the invention of the more advanced HAG-M and HHAG-M.

The HAG's artillery cannon had tremendous range, and was lethal to the Republic's RTTs and walkers. However, following the execution of the Separatist Council by Darth Vader, these units were de-activated.
