Two AT-ATs at the Battle of Hoth

The All-Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) is a quadrupedal armored fighting vehicle used by the Galactic Empire during the galactic civil war.

Design

While visually entertaining, the AT-AT has a number of design flaws. Among the more obvious are the limited firing arc of its head-mounted weapons and its large target profile. Also, its legs leave it vulnerable to tripping attacks, although such attacks carry extreme risk for enemies who attempt them.

In spite of its flaws, the AT-AT is still a formidable vehicle because of its sheer size, tough armor, and large carrying capacity.
