In the Production Center, thousands of weapons were produced constantly, the planet's resources ideally suited to this. However, not everything was devoted to the production of weapons. Taspir had long held a research facility in charge of building cutting edge assault weaponry.
Now, the newest Imperial arsenal was ready for release.
The following information is Top Secret (keep this in mind before acting on this information).
All Terrain Mobile Base (ATMB):
A very large, bulky vehicle, it was designed to transport troops fast and safely through battlegrounds to, well, wherever they needed to be. It is lightly armed, relying on six machine guns to deal with any heavy resistance it may encounter, and one light repeating blaster cannon. It can transport up to four squadrons at once (96 troops), not counting the crew and gunners. It is extremely hard to destroy, and can travel at a relatively constant speed of 60 km/hr.
All Terrain Light Assault Transport (ATLT):
The ATLT is a tank-like vehicle that can move very rapidly to provide either defensive or offensive fire support. It is armed with two mounted rapid fire cannons and a light repeating cannon (for dealing with small artillery or tight squadrons) as well as two swiveling machine guns. The gunners must sit outside and are therefore relatively easy targets, however, the ATLT compensates for this by encasing them in a durasteel bubble, protecting the gunners from most light fire. The ATLT is built to resist up to five grenades, but its design is desgined to cause these to bounce off, making its destruction much harder.
Heavy Siege Cannon:
The ultimate siege cannon, it is shaped somewhat like an elongated car that holds a long, almost needle like snout on top of it. There is a very powerful, well shielded reactor behind the Siege Cannon. The HSC moves extremely slowly and requires very strong infantry and mechanized support. Its fire rate is very slow, taking half an hour to react, but a single shot will cause immense damage. It has no defenses other than sturdy armour.
Havoc Ball Droid:
A simple droid, it is built exactly as a large ball that hovers 1 metre from the ground and opens rapid fire in all directions. It is built in with a simple motion detector, allowing it to take aim, almost. Its erratic movements and tough wiring allow it to resist a couple of shots from a common blaster. It is built to be deployed en masse, and to wreak havoc. Its fire is only harmful within a ten meter radius.
All Terrain Heavy Assault Transport (ATHT):
Designed to work tandemly alongside the ATLT, the All Terrain Heavy Assault Transport is a slower vehicle mounted on six legs. It stand 10 metres tall (at its lowest), and is armed with one heavy cannon, two heavy repeating blaster cannons and four automated 270° rotational automated rapid fire blasters. It is much like the AT-AT armour wise, but the ATHT has been built to move at a faster speed (35 km/hr at top speed, usually moves at 25 km/hr). However, like the AT AT, its sides and legs are vulnerable. The idea is that the ATLTs will form a perimeter around it, strongest at the sides, preventing anything from damaging the assault vehicle.
