AT-RT driver



AT-RT driver, also known as AT-RT scouts, were clone troopers specially trained to pilot AT-RT walkers onto the battlefield.

Armor and equipment


AT-RT drivers wore distinctive camouflaged armor and carried weapons such as a DC-15A blaster rifle, a DC-15S blaster, and a number of thermal detonators. AT-RT drivers of the 212th Attack Battalion wore unique orange and white armor. Some AT-RT drivers were known to carry large weapons slung over their back in addition to their DC-15 rifles.

Their helmet featured a boosted-range comlink for when they were operating separate from their walkers. Also, to aid in their patrol and scouting duties, they often carried a circular lifeform scanner attached to the strap of the large gun slung over their back.

History
AT-RT drivers in the 41st Elite Corps saw action during the Battle of Kashyyyk, while others, like the 91st Reconnaissance Corps served in many other battles in the Clone Wars. After the implementation of Order 66, these troops helped hunt down surviving Wookiees and Jedi on Kashyyyk.
