The Amphibious Interstellar Assault Transport/infantry (AIAT/i) was a gunship used by the Galactic Republic's Judicial Forces, as well as Mandalorian troops, as a troop transport in the decades before the Clone Wars.
Characteristics[]
The AIAT/i gunship was 31.5 meters long, 12.5 meters high, and had a 30-meter wingspan. It was propelled by a pair of oversized sublight engines, and could carry either 350 cubic meters of cargo or 50 troops, one repulsorlift assault vehicle, four speeder bikes, one IM-6 battlefield medical droid, and six prisoners. It had a number of weapons and was capable of landing on water.
History[]
AIAT/i transports were produced over three decades before the Battle of Geonosis. One of these vessels was used by Jaster Mereel and known by its military designation, JAST07. Mereel's protege, Jango Fett, later used the ship and renamed it Jaster's Legacy. The ship was destroyed during a job on Oovo IV, forcing Fett to steal the Firespray later called Slave I to escape.
By the time of Fett's ownership, the vessel was described as a "relic" by Rozatta.
Jango's cloned "son" Boba Fett also owned a ship of this class, called Slave IV.
