Armored Personnel Carrier/Legends



The Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) was a land-based repulsorlift transport vehicle used by the Galactic Empire.

The vehicle was armed with two double blaster cannons, and one mounted E-web heavy repeating blaster. The two blaster cannons were positioned in turrets flanking the main door, while the E-web was mounted on top. The APC also included holding cells for prisoners.

Luke Skywalker encountered these vehicles on Dantooine and Ralltiir during the Galactic Civil War.

Behind the scenes

 * In real life, "Armored Personnel Carrier", or "APC", is a military term used to describe armored troop transports, i.e vehicles used to ferry troops to the battlefield and built with either a fully or a partially armored chassis. They are usually armed with defensive weaponry to protect their occupants, but not always.


 * Different Star Wars vehicles also fit into this category, like the Republic Troop Transport, the All Terrain Open Transport, the Multi-Troop Transport, and the A-A5 speeder truck.
