Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Rule Book

PERSONNEL CARRIER

Many smaller or poorer fringe worlds can not afford
military or law enforcement vehicles with expensive
repulsorlift technology or construct the heavy walkers
utilized by the Imperial Army. Instead, many of these
worlds supply their militaries or self-defense forces
with transports utilizing older but reliable wheeled or
treaded propulsion. These personnel carriers are usu-
ally extremely simple, which does have the advantage
of making them more reliable.

WALKERS

Considered a compromise between rugged, sorely lim

ited groundcars and versatile yet high-maintenance re

pulsorlift vehicles, walkers are a relatively common

site in the galaxy. Using two or more multi-jointed

legs and sophisticated gyro-stabilized drive sys-

tems, these vehicles walk in the manner of ani-

mals or people. Used in a number of civilian and

military applications, walkers are well suited to

the rugged terrain of the uncivilized or lightly

populated worlds typical in the Outer Rim,

and are considered very capable all-terrain <

vehicles. Walkers ignore the handicaps of

most kinds of rough ground, making easy

work of traversing terrain that would

strand even the most capable ground-

car or tracked vehicle.

Similar to repulsorlift vehicles, walkers

ignore penalties from light terrain, and ig-

nore penalties from difficult terrain com-

posed of any hazard lower than half the

vehicle's height.

ALL TERRAIN PERSONAL TRANSPORT

Developed by the Republic during the Clone Wars, the

AT-PT is a small, one person infantry walker designed to

carry a single trooper into battle in even the most hos-

tile environments. Known for their sturdy and relatively

simple construction, these vehicles are composed of

a well armored central command pod suspended be-

tween two dextrous, reverse-articulated legs. The cen-

tral pod houses a cramped, environmentally sealed

cockpit with just enough room for the pilot, a sidearm,

and an emergency kit. The AT-PT easily traverses a

wide variety of terrains from thick forest to plains and

cramped urban centers, fording shallow bodies of wa-

ter and climbing inclines up to forty-five degrees.

AT-PTs are armed with a versatile array of anti-per-

sonnel weaponry, including a powerful twin blaster

cannon and a repeating concussion grenade launcher

in the walker's "chin," allowing it to destroy troops and

light vehicles. While their sensors are, at best, rudi-

mentary, they are equipped with a powerful, encrypt-

ed comlink that allows a squad of these small walkers

to work extremely efficiently together.
