AT-ST?

[Dal'Ruu]

i was wondering what an AT-ST *besides certain death for rebels* i was thinking of a a huge droid, but can any1 explain what it really is? thanks

its a transport..

ATAT = all terrain armored transport
ATST = all terrain s______ transport (i forget what the S is for..)

theres also an ATPT in books, but not in the movies or games (all terrain personal transport)

Easiest way to say it, is by going straight to the star wars data base ....

"While not as imposing as its larger AT-AT walker cousin, the AT-ST nonetheless served as a significant addition to the Imperial side of battlefields in the Galactic Civil War. The two-man craft is lightly armed with chin-mounted laser cannons, and side-mounted weapon pods. The two-legged craft, dubbed the scout walker by many, serves as a reconnaisance and patrol vehicle, often flanking approaching AT-ATs and mopping up infantry that sneaks past the larger walkers. The Imperials used AT-STs in both the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor."


Height: 8.6 meters tall
Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards
Type: Scout walker
Weapon: Laser cannons, concussion grenade launcher
Affiliation: Empire


Though their light two-legged drive system is more unstable than the four-legged plodding of an AT-AT, AT-STs are faster and more agile, with a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour on even terrain. Because of this speed and mobility, scout walkers spell death to infantry units. Its laser cannons and grenade launchers can cut through troop emplacements. Its foot-mounted steel claws can slice through trip wires or soldiers that close to engage.

There are a number of variant AT-STs in the Imperial arsenal. The AT-ST's predecessor, the Republic's one-man AT-PT, still sees some limited use in outlying Imperial units. A larger AT-ST variant, the AT-ST/A, has been spotted by Rebel spies.

AT-ST's are the imperials staple way to overpower rebels based in enclosed environments, much like Endor. The hatch for the AT ST is located on the roof of the vehicle and, like earlier said, seats 2 people. (Although Chewbacca was driving it with two Ewoks ;D )

AT-AT Are the imperials way to fight the rebels in open environments. AT-AT's are considered impregnable except for a spot on it's head and under it's body. The idea way to bring one down is to stop it's movement by tying the legs together to make it fall then shoot the now defenceless head. (I loved doing that in Rogue Squadron! ;D )

AT-PT's are just funktasic.. 'nuff said.

<--- star wars dude..

Yea like atat is like a big Sphere with a lil cone cut out of it.. and it shoots and crap goes boom and then chewie dies all while a flying ice cream van comes. The ice cream van then steals Luke Skywalkers Teddy grahams, and runs all the way to the Nebraska System. Then the Giant turquoise Nazi bunnies come out and attacks Han Solo. Han Solo GETS TOTALY PISSED. And calls up lone star.. .LONE STAR.. who comes to the rescue for a million space bucks, But then the spaceballs come and Kill people.. like random ones..
Then..
Some giant Arachnids come outta no where and start Flinng poo.. and asteroids at new crap and Killin ppl.. Then the next thing you knw.. BOOM benious aries in South america is gone. the troops mobilize and Rico sees titties..
Then.. A lil young pup named neo walks out and stops time.. and bullets and nuts..
THEN the next thin you know.. the dark lord himself reaches down and SMACKS the crap outta Frodo, and steals the ring..
And the whole world slips into darkness.......
