Each of the Galactic Republic’s UAVw A6 Juggernauts is a monstrous, ten-wheeled, armored box. built around a powerful reactor core and engine, with blasters and grenade launchers on every side. As well as being a front-line assault vehicle, these hulks provide secure shelter and transport for a company of dedicated clone troopers. The rugged and powerful Juggernauts are the well-chosen backbone of the clone armies. Under the command of Jedi Master Yoda, they form the most integral pan of a dogged campaign to eject battle droid invaders from the strategic Wookicc world of Kashyyyk. AT-RT Walker The All Terrain Recon Transport (AT-RT) is an armed, mobile platform for a single soldier on a patrol or reconnaissance mission. These walkers support policing actions in dense civilian areas, and arc also used in cooling battle zones.

Wizard’s Tower Shortly before the Coruscant strike. Invisible Hand's main communications and sensor pod was refitted as a lofty sanctum for Count Dooku. the political leader of the Separatist cause. Sith cunning and Jedi wisdom make Dooku a peerless exponent of manipulative propaganda—he affects a simple and saintly image and is called "Gentle Hand" by superstitious folk on innumerable worlds. From the ship's tower. Dooku transmits spiritualistic appeals to agitate and divide the galactic populace. Unless he is slopped, the Sith Lord will broadcast ihc holo-imagc of the captive Supreme Chancellor Palpatinc around the galaxy to crush Loyalist morale. Invisible Hand Damage Control The battle over Coruscant has a disastrous impact on Galactic City. Each crashing battleship scars the cityscape with a ten-kilometer (six mile) crater and the Shockwaves flatten I buildings in the vicinity. Daring rescuc-scrvice pilots fly tirelessly in countless civic emergency vehicles, saving crews from doomed ships and guiding the falling hulks to minimize damage and loss of life. Fircspeeders flock to spray-cool the plunging Invisible Hand’s flaming hull. Their invaluable assistance helps Anakin Sky walker to gain control of the wreck and make a relatively soft impact, saving the lives of thousands of innocent residents.

The vessel waits in orbit with the Confederacy fleet as the droid kidnappers return with their valuable prize—but before they can flee, thousands of Republic battleships engage the craft, trapping it in an upper atmospheric combat within the planet's defensive shield. Invisible Hand is badly damaged by superior enemy guns, so Jedi rescuers Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker must find Palpatine in a rapidly decaying spaccwrcck. Ruptured compartments are flooded with fluidic coolants and propellants laced with invisible, exotic hypermatter fuels.

The ship was also used to supervise naval attacks on 26 strategic Loyalist worlds.

A flotilla of these medium-weight, versatile multi-role warships can blast through the shields of a Trade Federation battleship with ease. The hangars of the Viator-class are much larger than older Star Destroyers like the Victory-class, and can support hundreds of fightercraft. The ship is also capable of planetary landings as a military transport and can be an escort for battleships in the Republic armada.

Whereas a blaster can almost instantly hit anything within a clear line of sight, a missile may go around obstacles and over the horizon. A missile can sometimes be dodged or shot down, while an energy beam cannot be intercepted, except by shield absorption. Missile payloads arc variable and mission-specific. Different classes of missile optimize the fusion or annihilation explosion for specific effects, including a simple omnidirectional blast, a fan or beamed blast, a dispersal of a cotTosivc antimatter shower, electromagnetic pulse effects, a sterilizing burst of hard radiation, or concentrated heat effects.

Sleek and agile, the small N-l faces aggressors with twin blaster cannons and a double magazine of proton torpedoes. Found only on Naboo and rarely seen even there, the N-l, like the Queen's Royal Starship, uses many galactic standard internal components in a custom-built spaceframc that reflects the Naboo people’s love of handcrafted, elegant shapes. The Naboo engineers fabricate some of their own parts such as fuel tanks and sensor antennas, but most of the high-technology gear is acquired through trade from other, more industrialized worlds. The Theed Palace engineers developed a customized engine system, however, based on a standard Nubian drive motor but modified significantly to release fewer emissions into the atmosphere. The Naboo being a peaceful people, the Space Fighter Corps is maintained as much through tradition as for military defense, and primarily serves as an honor guard for the Queen’s Royal Starship. Nonetheless, the Royal Naboo Security Forces train in the N-Is on a regular basis, prepared for the honor of serving the Queen in combat if necessary, since service to the Queen symbolizes service to the great free people of Naboo themselves.

The flnials arc actually heat sinks, which circulate coolant and help dissipate the excessive heat of the Nubian engines. The customized Naboo engine configuration bums hotter than normal so as to bum more cleanly, . since the Naboo people arc very careful not to pollute their planet’s environment. The needed heat sinks were configured into the elegant flnials in the inspiring combination of art and engineering found in the best Naboo design work.

Purely decorative, this finish indicates the ship’s royal allegiance. Early Naboo spacecraft required a chromelike finish for protection from harmful rays in the planet's upper atmosphere. Now that spacecraft and their pilots are fully shielded from such rays by electromagnetic field technology, the chrome finish is retained for tradition and kept as a royal symbol.

The primary purpose of this finial is to receive high-voltage power chaige energy delivered from the palace generators to activate the ship’s systems. I^argc transformers and converters can be seen on cither side of the plug-in sockets in the fighter revetment. The secondary purpose of the center finial is to receive coded information from the palace battle computer. This computer will download information only in the primary security room and through these fighter sockets, preventing any spies from being able to acquire battle information from the palace. The palace battle computer transfers complete battle coordinates and strategic plans into each fighter, allowing the pilots to concentrate on operating their ship’s systems while the flight computer automatically directs the ship on a trajectory to the target zone.

Completed six years ago, the Royal Starship replaced the previous royal vessel before Queen Amidala came to office. The gleaming craft, usually helmed by the Queen’s chief pilot Ric Olte, conveys Queen Amidala in matchless style to locations around Naboo for royal visitations, parades, and other observances. The ship also carries Amidala on formal state visits to other planetary rulers or to the Galactic Senate at the capital world of Coruscant itself. It is designed for short trips, and accordingly features limited sleeping facilities, primarily dedicated for the ruler and a customary entourage. Expressing the Naboo love of beauty and art, the dreamlike shape of the Queen’s ship, together with its extraordinary chromium finish, make it a distinctive presence in any setting. The starship is made to embody the glory of the Naboo royalty, symbol of the noble spirit of the Naboo people. Service to the Queen is a great honor, and the design of a Royal Starship is the highest goal to which a Naboo engineer can aspire. Every centimeter of the ship’s wiring is laid out (,n a with exacting precision, neatly run in perfect parallel Forward hold rows, making the ship a work of art in every respect. Royal Chromium A mirrored chromium finish gleams over the entire surface of the Royal Starship from stem to stem. Purely decorative, this finish indicates the starship’s royal nature. Only the Queen’s y own vessel may be entirely chromed. Royal Starfighters are partly chromed, and non-royal Naboo ships bear no chrome at all.

The Salon Pod The Republic Cruiser often serves as a neutral meeting ground for Republic officials and leaders of groups in conflict. To accommodate the many kinds of alien physiology in the galaxy, customized salon pods arc available in the hangars on Coruscant, and the Republic Cruiser can be equipped with any of these. In emergency situations, the entire salon pod can eject from the cruiser with its own sensors and independent life*support gear ready to sustain the diplomatic party on board. Communicating in a Diverse Galaxy In order to communicate with any culture it may visit, the Republic Cruiser sports a wide variety of dish and other communications antennas. (Years ^ later, the Empire will standardize communications across the galaxy. \ making such an array unnecessary.)

Propulsion The sub uses rotating fins to cycle water through an electromotive field that actually drives the ship. The fins contain fiat, flexible electronic units linked in series, which send electrical impulses down their length, pushing the water along. Combined with the ~ ~;!^SsSSiifcrn rotating fins, this electromotive field can grab fiv onto and displace a great deal of water, hurtling the sub through the sea at great speed.

These chambers work like the diving organs of some sea creatures, changing density via the absorption and emission of a heavy oil in a “lifelike” way to control buoyancy and make the sub rise or sink. The power unit just inside the rear of the ^ sub provides primary power for the electromotive field and the cockpit field generators. All the rest of the sub’s systems require little energy compared to these high-power systems. The sub’s repulsorlift discs (on the underside) are typically used only for launch and docking, when ¿f- the electromotive field is not in use Mm Hydrostatic field generators Gungan Sub Pen ' 4ig|p|r To outside eyes the Gungan sub pen might look like an i elaborate and beautiful structure of special significance; however, within Otoh Gunga it is just an ordinary docking port. Gungans believe that everything they make speaks of who they are, and that anything they construct should add to the beauty of their world. Hydrostatic field receptors Hydrostatic Bubbles The cockpit bubbles of the sub work on the same principle as the bubbles enclosing the underwater city of Otoh Gunga and the sub pen shown above. A hydrostatic field is projected between the prong over each cockpit and the margins where the bubble meets the sub body. The prong and the powerful receptors in the bubble margin act as opposing poles. A force current running between these two poles creates the hydrostatic field of the cockpit bubble that holds air in and water out, while still allowing solid objects to pass through. Trim control oil cyclers Buoyancy chamber Navigational light Gungan Sub Ihis kind of submersible is a common utility transport in Otoh Gunga, designed to carry passengers, cargo, or both. The forward cockpit bubble carries only pilot and passengers, but the side bubbles can carry either passengers or cargo depending on whether they are fitted with seats. The sub’s distinctive form originates from both the Gungans’ construction methods and their love of artistic design. The Gungans produce many of their structures using a secret method that actually “grows” the basic skeletons or shells of buildings or vehicles. This gives Gungan constructions a distinctive organic look, which is then complemented by artistic detail, even on simple vehicles like the sub. Gungan organically generated shells can be combined to make complex constructions and then modified and fitted with electronic and mechanical components to give them the needed functionality. The organic skeletons are exceptionally strong, though still susceptible to damage by some of the larger sea monsters encountered in deep waters.

Landing Ship MTT being guided down ramp for deployment Deployment ramp Battle droid troop transport column _ AAT columns Power coupling Power cells Structural beam energized by fore-wing tensor field Antigravity stabilizer node When plans for the ground forces of the Trade Federation secret army had begun to take shape, methods of deployment came under consideration. The Haor Chall Engineering ilcid generator' works produced a design for a landing craft that would carry the attack vehicles and troops to ground sites from Trade Federation battleships and, after a period of much-debated development, the C-9979 configuration emerged as the choice of the Trade Federation armaments committee. Related in design to commercial cargo barges in the trade fleet, these huge, double-winged ships were built for the sole purpose of transporting AATs (battle tanks), battle droids, and MTTs (large transports) from orbiting battleships to strategic positions on planet surfaces. The C-9979 offers tremendous antigravity lifting capacity, which is necessary for the heavy armored cargo. Equipped with defensive laser cannons as well, the mighty C-9979 presents a bizarre and menacing shadow in the skies of any threatened population. Mechanized Crew A relatively small droid crew operates the C-9979, in keeping with the Trade Federation reliance on completely automated soldiery. Droid pilots steer the ship and robot gunners work the cannon stations, which serve to defend the landing ship on its way down. Along the front of the wings are a series of maintenance and repair shops, also run by droids, which service and maintain the attack-force components, especially individual battle droids, which need realignment and repair after battle engagements. Radiant ion drive engines Tensor field effect pulls on key structural girders, increasing strength and keeping structure locked in place.

Here they are assembled, serviced, and maintained, and when ready for deployment they are loaded with MTTs, AATs, and troop carriers which have been prepared for combat. Landing ships are stored in an unloaded condition to reduce structural stress and so that the attack craft can be serviced individually.

Powerful tensor fields bind the wings to the fuselage when the ship is assembled for use. The huge wings of the C-9979 would tax the load-bearing capabilities of even the strongest metal alloys, making tensor fields vital for the integrity of the ship. Forward-mounted tensor fields bind the wing mounts firmly to the fuselage, while wing-mounted tensor fields keep the span of the wings from sagging. MTT moving 1 out for battle position Deployment The wings of the landing ship contain rows of MTTs, AATs, and battle droid troop carriers racked in garage channels for maximum loading capacity. For deployment, the attack vehicles are guided along repulsor tracks to a staging platform. MTTs in particular require the assistance of the repulsors built into these tracks, because their onboard maneuvering equipment is not precise enough to negotiate the cramped confines of the garage zones without causing collision damage. At a staging platform, the vehicles are rotated into position and seized by transport clamps, which draw them aft and guide them down the drop ramp in the landing ship’s “foot.” The great clamshell doors of the “foot” then open wide to release the ground forces. Deployment of the full load of vehicles on board a C-9979 can take up to 45 minutes. 7

While both pilots arc fully qualified to perform all control functions, in normal practice one serves as driver while the other acts as gunner. Firing controls can at any time be yielded to the vehicle commander, who uses a periscope display capable of tactical and photographic readouts. The two pilots arc guided by terrain sensors under the cockpit and ground sensors built into the feet of the vehicle. Scans read the nature and shape of the terrain ahead, assuring infallible footing.

These behemoth monsters are shielded with heavy armor cladding, making them invulnerable to all but the heaviest turbolaser weaponry. Blaster bolts from ordinary turrets and cannons merely glance off the walker’s armor or are harmlessly absorbed and dissipated. A powerful reactor produces the raw energy needed to move this weighty battle machine. Cannons in the movable cockpit spit death and savagery at helpless foes below, cutting a swath of destruction which the mighty footpads then crash through. Breaking enemy lines with its blaster fire and lumbering mass, the walker functions as a troop carrier, holding in its body platoons of crack assault soldiers, ground weaponry, and speeder bike antipersonnel/reconnaissance vehicles. When this cargo of terror is released into the chaos and destruction a walker has created, another Imperial victory is nearly complete. Speeder Bikes AT-AT walkers usually carry a set of high-velocity repulsorlift speeder bikes for scouting or survivor-hunting missions. The speed and agility of these bikes complement the plodding might of the walkers, making the combined assault capability thorough and overwhelming. The colossal size and nightmarish animal resemblance of the AT-AT combine with its combat strengths to give it tremendous psychological power. Until the Battle of Hoth. no army had ever fought resolutely against an onslaught of walkers, so frightening and devastating is their presence.
Rangefinders Laser charge battery Bunker-busting shells Heavy solid plate armor. AAT (Battle Tank) Designed and built by the Baktoid Armor Workshop for the Trade Federation secret army, the AAT (battle tank) carries a crew of four battle droids into combat, presenting the enemy with a heavily armored facade and a blistering hail of assault fire from five laser guns and six energy shell launchers. Their deployment on Naboo is their first use in open combat, but the tanks have seen considerable training action, leaving them scarred and weathered. The AAT is designed for head-on combat in formal battle lines and is accordingly very heavily armored up front. In fact, the nose of the AAT is almost solid armor, designed to crash through heavy walls with impunity. Secondary laser guns.

Heavy-duty repulsors (both disc and coils) keep the ATT just off the ground and propel it forward. Energy Shells The AAT’s six shell launch tubes can be equipped with a range of ammunition types. As they are launched, the shells are cocooned in high-energy plasma, which dramatically improves the shells’ penetration power and speeds them on their way, reducing friction. The AAT can be prepared for specialized missions with particular shell loads. Explosive Combination The three ammunition types carried as standard issue ordnance on the AAT (battle tank) include “bunker buster” high explosives, armor-piercing shells, and standard high-energy shells for antipersonnel and anti-vehicle use. “Bunker-buster” high explosive shell General purpose high-energy shells Battle droid with blaster command receiver antennas Blaster energizer STAP The Single Trooper Aerial Platform (STAP) is an agile flying conveyance designed for Trade Federation battle droids. Similar in design to individual repulsorlift “airhooks” used for civilian and military purposes elsewhere in the galaxy, the STAP performs scouting and anti-personnel hunting missions in support of the main battle projcctoi force actions. High-voltage energy cells power the compact machine for limited deployment sorties, after which they must return to be recharged. Able to travel swiftly and through dense vegetation, the flying STAP allows battle droids to ferret out resistance and destroy opposition with twin blasters.
