Mobile Defense Unit



The Mobile Defense Unit (MDU) was, a versatile vehicle capable of several configurations used around 0 ABY.

Used by the Galactic Empire, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and the Zann Consortium, these vehicles were essentially mobile pads that were capable of being upgraded for a variety of tasks&mdash;tasks that a normal turret pad could not complete.

Varieties
The MDU appeared consistent in design, but sported different colors and decals between the factions.

Rebel Alliance
The Rebel Alliance could use these pads as a mobile shield generator, covering an area with the shield; a Rebel repair station which repaired vehicle in close proximity; and a Rapid Fire Laser Cannon effective against both infantry and vehicles.

Galactic Empire
The Empire could use these turrets as an EM field generator, jamming enemy missiles' guiding systems, keeping them from hitting their target; a concussion grenade mortar that could fire a volley of grenades; and an offensive sensor node that reveals a larger part of the map of the battlefield and can defend itself with an energy discharge weapon.

Zann Consortium


The Zann Consortium could use these pads as a sensor scrambler, jamming enemy missiles and hiding a limited number of units within a specific radius from enemy radar; an ysalamiri cage, negating Force-related powers within a specified radius, causing them to be inactive; and a rocket pod that fired a volley of rockets that detonate on impact and can also be used as anti-aircraft weapon.
