HAVw A5 Juggernaut

The Juggernaut was a large assault vehicle used during the Clone Wars by the Old Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the last days of the Clone Wars, the Juggernaut was one of the most powerful ground vehicles. The juggernaut is also known as the "rolling slab" and "turbo tank" because of its brute size. It appears in the Revenge of the Sith, where it participates in the Battle of Kashyyyk. The Juggernaut was constructed by the famous Kuat Drive Yards to serve as a larger variant of the AT-TE. Its heavy armour plating is similar to the AT-TE. The command cabin is similar also to the AT-TE. Instead of having powerful all terrain legs, the Juggernaut has 10 durable drive wheels connected to a flexible systme of shocks and servos.

The Juggernaut performs well when travelling over rocky, uneven terrain and can travel at 200 km per hour though it must slow to near 25 km per hour in order to turn. Because the Juggernaut had forward and reverse command cabins, it can travel in reverse at maximum speed. It is easy to pilot and only requires one pilot per cabin. Like the AT-TE and the deadly AT-AT, the Juggernaut is a troop transport and can carry 50 soldiers along with their equipment. Like the Sentinel-Class Landing Craft, the Juggernaut can also carry speeder bikes, assault speeders and other small craft.

The Juggernaut's weapons are three rotating cannons, a turret mounted blaster cannon on top of the forward command cabin and two concussion grenade launchers. These grenade launchers are retractable and each contains a magazine of 10 grenades. There is also a sentry tower on top of the rear command cabin. There, a sentry provides targeting information for the juggernaut's six gunners. The Juggernaut served both the Old Republic and the Empire well for several years but was eventually replaced by the more destructive and powerful AT-AT walker. One of the Juggernaut's disadvantages was that it could not traverse dense terrain. Other disadvantages are its primitive drive system and that its three rotating laser cannons have only two-thirds the effective range of the AT-AT. The Juggernaut eventually fell out of favour and suppliers ceased providing replacement parts for the vehicle. The Empire decommissioned many Juggernauts and sold others to planetary governments, corporations and the Hutt clans. Those that are still operating require frequent repairs. As of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, very few remain operational.
