AT-EST EXPLORATION

AND SURVEY WALKER

Developed by Rothana Heavy Engineering to serve

the needs of the Old Republic's civilian exploratory

corps, the AT-EST is a six-legged, low-slung walker

designed to haul both passengers and cargo through

rough terrain and hazardous environments. Resem-

bling a scaled-down version of the Old Republic's AT-

TE combat walker, the AT-EST consists of a bulbous,

heavily armored hull supported by six sturdy multi-

jointed legs with broad, four-toed feet. The hull con-

tains a forward cockpit, a central living and working

area with tiny, two-person private berths, a common

area, a workshop, and a secure cargo hold.

In its role as an exploration and survey vehicle, the

AT-EST is equipped with a number of sophisticated

computers and sensors that can detect sound, radia-

tion, and energy, as well as take samples and assess

the exact nature of a world's environment. Since it

is designed to operate on untamed worlds and in

hostile environments, the entire vehicle is environ-

mentally sealed. These walkers are a common sight

among the worlds of the Outer Rim, and are in high

demand among militaries and civilian groups alike.

GROUND VEHICLES AND TERRAIN

U

ehicles that travel on or in close proximity to the

ground are affected by natural and man-made

terrain features that can make piloting more dif-

ficult. Depending on its difficulty and makeup, ter-

rain reduces a vehicle's speed. In addition, just like

with starfighters, the speed the vehicle is moving

determines the difficulty of any Pilot (Planetary)

checks that might need to be made to navigate

the area. In addition, the terrain involved may add

further complications to the check.

TABLE 7-15: DIFFICULT TERRAIN

Light terrain. Rough gravel roadways, clear, dry

fields, low hills, and light urban ground or air traffic.

Medium Terrain. Deep mud or standing water

less than fifty centimeters deep. Also soft,

drifting sand, dense undergrowth, ancient ruins,

heavy urban ground or air traffic.

Heavy Terrain. Fast-flowing water over a meter

deep, rocky, unstable terrain, thick forests,

narrow, winding streets, ruined cities, urban

ground or air traffic so heavy that it has

completely stopped. Wheeled vehicles typically

cannot pass this type of terrain, but tracked

vehicles and walkers can.

Starship Profiles

S

tarships come in a wide variety of shapes and

styles, from tiny, dangerous starfighters to lumber-

ing bulk transports. There is very little standardiza-

tion among the various ships built by the numerous

species of the galaxy. Most alien ships defy descrip-

tion or classification, and even many human-built

ships using tried and tested ship-building techniques

are hard to classify. In general, however, starships fall

into three broad categories: Starfighters and patrol

boats, freighters and transports, and capital ships.
