The Low Altitude Assault Transport, or LAAT, was a line of gunship used by the Grand Army of the Republic. Models in the line included the Low Altitude Assault Transport carrier designed to transport a single All Terrain Tactical Enforcer and the Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry that served mainly as a gunship and troop transport.[3] Space gunships[7] were a variant of the Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry designed to function in space.[12] The Coruscant Guard and Imperial Military also used a variant called the LAAT/le patrol gunship.[2]
When Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ships were not able to land on the ground, the Republic Army depended on LAAT gunships for materiel and soldiers.[13]
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The front of the gunship featured twin cockpits, where the pilot and gunner sat. Twin guns were mounted on the chin of the craft.
