The All Terrain Personal Transport (AT-PT) was an all-terrain[2] light infantry walker[3] manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering.[1] The AT-PT was distinguished by its pair of triple-jointed legs and single-pilot cabin, and it was armed with twin blaster cannons located below the viewport.[3]
Designed before the height of the Clone Wars, the AT-PT, along with the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer, led to the development of the three-legged All Terrain Attack Pod.[4] Its basic form and leg geometry were similar to that of the later All Terrain Reconnaissance Transport.[1] In the Imperial Era, the Imperial Army utilized AT-PTs during the Galactic Civil War, a galaxy-wide conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
In the current Star Wars canon, AT-PTs appeared in the mobile game Star Wars: Galactic Defense,[3] which was released in 2014 and shut down in 2016.[3] The walkers were later identified as All Terrain Personal Transports in the Star Wars Encyclopedia booklet "Walkers and Ground Vehicles of the Empire and First Order,"[2] which was published on May 11, 2021.[5]
In the Star Wars Legends continuity, All Terrain Personal Transports first appeared in Dark Force Rising, the second volume of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy,[6] which was published on May 1, 1992.[7] The walkers were named in the accompanying Dark Force Rising Sourcebook, by Bill Slavicsek, which was created for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[8]
