Army Equipment
C-9979 Landing Ship
Haor Chall Engineering was given a contract by the Trade Federation to create and landing ship to be used to transport the huge battle droid army's from the large capital class ships to the planets that were being invaded bellow. Their unique design and large wingspan strike terror into those whom these ships are brought upon. The specially built C-9979 Landing Ship can hold heavy armor and legions of troops throughout the habitable volume contained within its hull. The C-9979's immense wings are removable for ease of storage and docking. When deployed, powerful tensor field generators bind the wings to the craft, and strengthen the vessel's overall structural integrity. Capable of being piloted by an entire crew of droid pilots. Small fleets of these ships are capable of being directed by one sentient being aboard a droid control ship. Now that Haor Chall Engineering has changed its focus to vehicles, the Trade Federation now builds these massive deployment weapons of war itself thought the demand for such ships have diminished. In past days the C-9979 were used to transport Battle Droid from Lucrehulk 3210 Battleships to the surface of a planet. But now the Lucrehulks descend upon the planets themselves, and the C-9979s are used for missions where a Lucrehulk would be overkill.
Armoured Attack Tank
The Armored Attack Tank is the perfect marriage of repulsorlift and heavy armor, resulting in formidable floating tanks that form the frontline of armored infantry divisions. It is a fearsome design studded with heavy artillery. Its turret-mounted primary laser cannon has long-range destructive capability and is bracketed by a pair of pylon-mounted secondary laser cannons. A pair of forward-facing short range blaster cannons round out the AAT's energy-weapon complement. Contained in the forward edge of the tank's armored repulsorlift shroud are six energized shell projectile launchers capable of delivering specialized payloads. The tank contains three separate magazines from which to draw warheads: high-energy shells encased in a cocoon of plasma for incredible speed and penetration power, specialized armor-piercing warheads and high-explosive shells.
Single Trooper Aerial Platform
STAPs or Single Troop Aerial Platforms are quick and deadly support vehicles. These slim and agile craft can provide quick assaults with their powerful side thrusters and dual blaster emplacements. The single rider controls the slender speeder with a combination of hand movements and foot petals, giving the pilot full control. Using a stiff ratio mixing replusorlifts with thrust, the STAP is able to stay airborne with a minimum of load making it extremely maneuverable and efficient.
