Imperial Repulsortank 1-H

The Imperial-class Repulsortank was the successor to the S-1 FireHawke Heavy Repulsortank and heavily championed by the elite armor regiment, the Hell´s Hammers.

Three main versions were produced and designated 'Heavy', 'Medium' and 'Light':

1-H
The 1-H was the main version and the most widely produced of the three. It was armed with a heavy laser cannon and a medium blaster cannon, similar to the Firehawke, and had two additional cannons flanking the vehicle.

Out of the initial production run of 1500 tanks, 1420 were assigned to the first Death Star, while the rest were given to the Hell´s Hammers. After the station’s destruction, production of the tank continued at a steady, yet reduced pace.

Due to reorganization and retraining of the unit, the Hell´s Hammers were not present at the Battle of Hoth. They would later maintain that if they had been present, their 1-H tanks would have been more successful against the defending Rebels than General Veers´ AT-ATs.

1-M
The 1-M was a command version of the Imperial-class tank and was armed with a medium blaster cannon and a repeating blaster, thus preventing it from engaging any big targets.

It had enough space to accommodate for communications equipment vital to the officer in command of the armored unit.

1-L
The 1-L was an economical version of the 1-H, employing the same chassis, but dispensing with the heavy laser cannon.

It was crewed by two regular troops under command of their sergeant (via com-link). It also had seating for a section sergeant or a platoon sergeant major, who would usually shift vehicles from day to day.
