All Terrain Scout Transport/Assault

The All Terrain Scout Transport/Assault is a variant of the AT-ST walker. It´s approximately 10 meters tall, and is more heavily armed than it´s shorter cousin (including large, double-barreled chinguns). Also fitted with enclosed viewports for added protection of the crew.

The AT-ST/A originated in concept art for the ground-battle on Endor, where it was to have taken the role of the AT-ST (which would be modified from it´s ESB-appearance). Ultimately, a slighty different look was chosen and the Expanded Universe recycled the designs into a bigger, stronger AT-ST variant, more suited for an assault-role.
