The HCVw A9.2 juggernaut transport, also known as the Imperial Combat Assault Transport, the Juggernaut turbo tank, and the Juggernaut transport vehicle, was a model of large, ten-wheeled ground assault vehicle manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards for the Galactic Empire. Unlike the HCVw A9 turbo tank, which it resembled, the HCVw A9.2 was unarmed, which made it easy to attack. Around 9 ABY, an Imperial remnant operating on Morak still used several such vehicles.
Description[]
Manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, the HCVw A9.2 juggernaut transport was a large, blocky vehicle that moved about on ten heavy-duty wheels. It was divided into five segments, including a tapered cockpit boasting viewports and a loudhailer in the front. While it did not have any weapons,[1] the HCVw A9.2 still qualified as a ground assault vehicle, boasting thick armor to protect its occupant in battle.[2] Overall, it shared many similarities[1] with the HCVw A9 turbo tank, another wheeled assault vehicle built by Kuat Drive Yards.[4]
History[]
Inspired by the turbo tanks used by the Galactic Republic in the Clone Wars, the HCVw A9.2 juggernaut transport was used by the Galactic Empire to move cargo and prisoners across rough terrain.[5]
In 9 ABY, five years after the fall of the Empire at Endor, such transports were still used on Morak as part of its Imperial remnants. At least four Juggernauts were stationed on the Imperial refinery there, including Juggernaut Three, Juggernaut Four, and Juggernaut Five. They were all destroyed during a mission to Morak undertaken by Din Djarin, Carasynthia Dune, Migs Mayfeld, Fennec Shand, and Boba Fett.[3]
