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

The AT-AT is a poorly designed vehicle. Among its design problems are a vulnerability to being tripped that was exploited by the [Rebel Alliance|Rebels]] at Hoth, guns that can only fire in the forward arc, and a large target profile.

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