GALACTIC REPUBLIC VEHICLES

AT-TE

CLASS:

Rothana Heavy Engineering All Terrain Tactical Enforcer Walker

SIZE:

12.4 meters long, 5.02 meters tall

SPEED:

60 kilometers per hour

CAPACITY:

1 pilot, 1 spotter, 4 gunners, 1 exterior gunner, 20 clone troopers

WEAPONS:

4 ball-turret laser cannons, 2 rear laser cannon turrets, 1 heavy projectile cannon

DEFENSES:

Heavy armor plating and electromagnetic shielding

DESCRIPTION:

The AT-TE was an assault walker developed for the Republic Grand Army and was one of the first predescessors to the Imperial AT-AT walker. It was a multi-purpose vehicle capable of tasks ranging from transporting clone troopers across the battlefield to all-out attacks on Seperatist installations. The main weapon of the walker was the rail gun mounted on top. This cannon could carry payloads ranging from bunker busters to heat-seeking missiles to sonic charges. However, a single well-placed missile from a Hailfire droid could destroy the walker and they were also very vulnerable to air attacks. AT-TEs were transported through space onboard Acclamator-class assault ships and ferried down to the battlefield by LAAT/c gunships. 

JEDI STARFIGHTER

CLASS:

Kuat Systems Engineering Delta-7 Aethersprite-Class Light Interceptor

SIZE:

8 meters long

SPEED:

5000G and Class 1 hyperdrive module, or 12,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere

CAPACITY:

1 pilot and 1 hard-wired astromech droid

WEAPONS:

4 quad-pulse laser cannons

DEFENSES:

Light armor plating and automatic distributing deflector shield system

DESCRIPTION:

Prior to the Battle of Geonosis, the Jedi Council required a new starfighter for their various missions that they undertake throughout the galaxy. Kuat Systems Engineering produced the Delta-7 Aetherspite. The fighter was very light, small, and performed well during the initial tests conducted by the Jedi Order. It was armed with dual laser cannons, which were assisted by a state-of-the-art targeting computer. The shield system was also state-of-the-art due to the fact that it automatically reinforced areas that were under fire. The Delta-7 did not have a built-on hyperdrive, so it would have to dock with a hyperspace transport ring before making the jump to lightspeed. Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi used the Delta-7 during his hunt for bounty hunter Jango Fett.

REPUBLIC ASSAULT SHIP

CLASS:

Rothana Heavy Engineering Acclamator-Class Transgalactic Military Assault Ship

SIZE:

752 meters long

SPEED:

3500G and Class 0.6 hyperdrive

CAPACITY:

16,000 clone troopers, 320 speeder bikes, 48 AT-TE walkers, 80 gunships, and 36 SPHA-Ts

WEAPONS:

12 quad turbolaser turrets, 24 laser cannons, and 4 missile/torpedo tubes

DEFENSES:

Titanium hull and deflector shield system

DESCRIPTION:

After Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured by the Seperatists on Geonosis, Chancellor Palpatine authorized the creation of the clone army. This clone army was transported to Geonosis in a fleet of Acclamator-class assault ships. Once the troops were released, the assault ship's scanning systems gather data on enemy positions to provide ground support. The ships could also unleash a destructive orbital bombardment with its 12 turbolasers and high-yield proton torpedoes. The Republic assault ship was not specifically designed for ship-to-ship combat, so many traveled with starfighter and battleship escorts. However, the assault ship was more than capable of destroying smaller starships and starfighters. The Republic assault ship was a key to victory at the Battle of Geonosis and was a template of future starship design. Imperial Star Destroyers were based upon the Republic assault ship and would eventually replace the assault ships.  

REPUBLIC CRUISER

CLASS:

Corellian Engineering Corporation Consular-Class Space Cruiser

SIZE:

115 meters long

SPEED:

2040G and Class 2 hyperdrive

CAPACITY:

2 communication officers, 3 engineers, 2 pilots, 1 captain, and several utility droids as well as numerous passengers/diplomats

WEAPONS:

None

DEFENSES:

Titanium hull and numerous deflector shield arrays

DESCRIPTION:

These Republic cruisers saw frequent use during the final days of the Old Republic. Because of cost cutbacks, these vessels were meant to be efficient and not extravagant. Therefore, many Jedi used these vessels on their various missions. Most of these cruisers were painted red to identify them as diplomatic starships. The cruiser supported a modular salon pod capable of supporting various atmospheres and environments, which meant that it could be reconfigured between missions to suit almost any species. These pods were also armored and insulated, making it perfect for negotiations and peace talks. These diplomatic vessels did not have any weapons and relied on starfighter escorts and an array of deflector shields. When the ships became too badly damaged, the diplomats could escape aboard two emergency escape pods. As the Republic began to fall, the Senate became more and more paranoid. Therefore, these cruisers maintained a minimal crew for security and secrecy. As the galaxy erupted into all-out war, Republic cruisers were modified with turbolasers and concussion missile launchers to serve in the Republic Navy.  

REPUBLIC GUNSHIP

CLASS:

Rothana Heavy Engineering Low-Altitude Assault Transport/Infantry(LAAT/i) Repulsorlift Gunship

SIZE:

17.4 meters long, 17 meters wingspan

SPEED:

620 kilometers per hour

CAPACITY:

1 pilot, 1 gunner, 30 soldiers, and 4 speeder bikes

WEAPONS:

3 anti-personnel laser turrets, 4 composite-beam turrets, 8 light air-to-air rockets, and 2 mass-driver missile launchers

DEFENSES:

Light armor plating and deflector shield generators 

DESCRIPTION:

The Republic gunship was one of the most heavily-armed vehicles employed by the clone army and enabled clone troopers to reach key locations across the battlefield to launch tactical strikes. The LAAT/i's primary function was its role as a troop transport, but once troops were released, its role changed to recon, fire support, search-and-rescue, or low-altitude combat against ground units, speeders, and starfighters. The vehicle's hull was meant to take a lot of damage, but the pilot could eject if the gunship became too badly damaged. Because of the tremendous array of firepower, gunships were often tasked with clearing a landing zone before troops were released. Because of their awesome maneuverabiltiy and atmospheric speed, gunships could weave between rock formations, dive into canyons and valleys, hover over forests, and speed between urban structures. There were several gunship variants developed for other specific roles such as the LAAT/v, which has an expanded cargo bay for carrying more speeder bikes and the LAAT/c, which is used to ferry AT-TEs from the assault ships down to the battlefield. 

SPHA-T

CLASS:

Rothana Heavy Engineering Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery-Turbolaser

SIZE:

20.6 meters long

SPEED:

35 kilometers per hour

CAPACITY:

35 clone troopers(15 required to operate) and 10 gunners

WEAPONS:

Heavy turbolaser cannon and 12 antipersonnel blasters

DEFENSES:

Heavy armor plating

DESCRIPTION:

In order to prevent the massive droid core ships that were trying to escape from Geonosis, the Republic deployed mobile artillery units called SPHA-Ts. The artillery unit was composed of tow pieces - the locomotibe drive unit and the main weapon. The turbolaser uses a large focusing array to produce a beam of potent energy. This beam has incredible range and is capable of punching through deflector shields. The downside to the weapon is the tremendous power requirements. In order for the unit to be somewhat mobile, the turret is placed on a well-armored, large drive unit. It consists of several treads that roll and crush any obstacles. The turret is fixed and cannot rotate in its place, instead the whole vehicle turns to provide a clear line of fire.

AT-OT

CLASS:

Kuat Drive Yards All Terrain Open Transport

SIZE:

14.3 meters long and 5.8 meters tall

SPEED:

35 kilometers per hour

CAPACITY:

34 clone troopers

WEAPONS:

4 laser cannons

DEFENSES:

Thick armor plating

DESCRIPTION:

Kuat Drive Yards developed the All Terrain Open Transport as a basic land-based troop carrier. Armor and offensive capability is traded for offensive capability, even though other vehicles in the series are considered transports. Since they lack offensive firepower, they are not recommended for direct combat and are better suited for troop replenishment behind friendly combat lines. The open nature of the flatbed allow for more troops to pile in should the mission require it

AT-RT

CLASS:

Kuat Drive Yards All Terrain Recon Transport

SIZE:

3.2 meters tall

SPEED:

90 kilometers per hour

CAPACITY:

1 clone trooper

WEAPONS:

1 blaster cannon

DEFENSES:

Light armor plating

DESCRIPTION:

The Republic AT-RT was used primarily as a recon vehicle, but was nonetheless heavily armed and could cut through battle droids with ease. It was employed at the Battle of Kashyyyk and used by clone troopers to search for Master Yoda. They were typically used in piloce missions, civil defense, or mop-up missions. The open cockipt made the driver vulnerable to sniper fire, but its low cost and good visibility made up for it. The AT-RT was also equipped with scanning equipment capable of providing Forward Command Centers with updated situation reports from the battlefield. The AT-RT's design would be incorporated into its successor, the Imperial AT-ST.  

JUGGERNAUT

CLASS:

Kuat Drive Yards HAVw Juggernaut Troop Carrier

SIZE:

49.4 meters long and 30.4 meters tall

SPEED:

200 kilometers per hour

CAPACITY:

50 clone troopers, 2 drivers, and 6 gunners

WEAPONS:

Heavy laser cannon turret, 1 rapid repeataing laser cannon, 2 medium laser cannons, 2 twin blaster cannons, and 2 rocket/grenade launchers

DEFENSES:

Heavy armor plating

DESCRIPTION:

The Juggernaut was a result of a bill passed by the Galactic Senate, allowing planets to create their own defense forces. Kuat Drive Yards was contracted by the Republic to supply vehicles for these local armies. The Juggernaut was designed to be a larger version of the AT-TE and shares the same armor plating as the walker. However, the juggernaut has ten drive wheels instead of employing the walker configuration. The juggernaut can cross any type of terrain and reach a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour. The vehicle also has forward and rear command cabins, so it can travel in reverse at maximum speed. It is relatively easy to pilot and requires only one driver in each cabin. As with other Republic vehicles, the juggernaut is primarily a troop transport, but it can be reconfigured to carry speeders or other small repulsorlift craft. During the last days of the Old Republic, the juggernaut was among the most powerful ground-based vehciles in operation. However, the Galactic Empire considered the juggernaut's drive system to be too primitive and the vehicle was eventually replaced by the AT-AT.  

ARC-170 STARFIGHTER

CLASS:

Incom/Subpro Aggressive Reconnaissance starfighter

SIZE:

14.5 meters long

SPEED:

3500G and Class 1.5 hyperdrive, or 1,000 kilometers in atmosphere

CAPACITY:

1 clone pilot, 1 copilot, 1 tail gunner, and 1 astromech droid

WEAPONS:

2 medium laser cannons, 2 aft laser cannons, and 6 proton torpedos

DEFENSES:

Reinforced titanium alloy hull and deflector shield system

DESCRIPTION:

The ARC-170 starfighter was a heavy starfighter/bomber used by the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars. It had a narrow spaceframe flanked by large engines and also featured an S-foil system, which helped to radiate heat and aided the fighter's shielding. During the Clone Wars, typical fighters were designed to be small, fast and maneuverable at the expense of offensive firepower. However, the ARC-170 was a departure from that trend by being large, rugged, and capable of long operations alone. It was often sent on dangerous scout missions and raids in enemy territory. The two aft laser cannons helped fend off faster enemy fighters, but the ARC-170 was still vulnerable to enemy flak. ARC-170s were often used as the heavy hitters in strike forces, escorted by V-wings and Eta-2s. During the battle over Corsucant, Squad Seven piloted ARC-170s and covered Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker from the numerous droid fighters launched from General Grievous' flagship. The ARC-170 was also used after Order 66 came down to eliminate certain Jedi, including Plo Koon on Cato Neimodia. Eventually, Incom Corporation would produce the T-65 X-Wing to replace the ARC-170.

V-WING STARFIGHTER

CLASS:

Kuat Systems Engineering Alpha-3 Nimbus V-wing starfighter

SIZE:

7.9 meters long

SPEED:

4800G

CAPACITY:

1 pilot and 1 Q7-series astromech droid

WEAPONS:

2 twin laser cannons

DEFENSES:

Titanium alloy hull

DESCRIPTION:

The Alpha-3 Nimbus starfighter was a short-ranged fighter that was introduced late in the Clone Wars by the Republic. the fighter was wedge-shaped and featured laser cannons mounted on the wingtips that could swivel on the wing hubs to provide a wide range of fire. V-wing pilots were assisted by Q7 astromech droids to assist in in-flight navigation and repairs. The fighter was too small to feature an integrated hyperdrive, so it had to be transported into combat through carriers or using hyperdrive booster rings. They were often unleashed from hangars in large swarms in order to overwhelm the enemy. The lacked the firepower of the ARC-170, but made up for it with raw speed and agility. V-wings flew during the Battle of Coruscant, fending off numerous droid fighters launched against them. After the rise of the Empire, V-wings were flown by Imperials and aspects of thei design were incorporated into the TIE Fighter and Rebel A-wing.

REPUBLIC ASSAULT CRUISER

CLASS:

Kuat Drive Yards Venator-Class Star Destroyer

SIZE:

1,137 meters long

SPEED:

2500G and Class 2 hyperdrive

CAPACITY:

192 V-19 Torrent fighters, 192 Jedi starfighters, 36 ARC-170 starfighters, and 20 LAAT/i gunships

WEAPONS:

8 heavy turbolasers, 2 medium dual turbolasers, 52 laser cannons, 4 proton torpedo launchers, and 6 tractor beam projectors

DEFENSES:

Titanium reinforced alusteel hull and deflector shield system

DESCRIPTION:

The Venator-class Star Destroyer was one of the the capital ships used extensively by the Republic during the later parts of the Clone Wars. It was designed primarily for ship-to-ship combat, but it also had secondary roles of starfighter carrier, military transport, and battleship escort. The destroyer heavily-armed and armored enough to lead assaults on planets, but fast enough to catch blockade runners. As a true warship, the destroyer could divert almost all of its reactor power to it heavy turbolasers when needed, allowing the starship to rip through an enemy vessel's shields with ease. The weapons onboard the Venator-class rivaled the firepower of the main battery onboard the later Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Its hangar bays were far larger than on other Star Destroyer models, as the bow of the destroyer could open up to rapidly launch hundreds of fighters. However, the slow procedure of opening and closing that bay left the ship very vulnerable during combat. To counter this, SPHA turbolaser cannons were installed to protect the ship during the procedure. The ship also had hangar openings on the port and starboard sides in order to dock with space stations to transfer troops and supplies. The Venator-class also featured a dual bridge tower design - the port tower was the starfighter command bridge and the starboard tower was the standard helm and command bridge. During the Clone Wars, most Venator-class Star Destroyers were painted red to demonstrate diplomatic immunity. After the rise of the Empire, Imperial Venator-class Star Destroyers were painted a dull gray.

JEDI INTERCEPTOR

CLASS:

Kuat Systems Engineering Eta-2 Actis-Class Light interceptor starfighter

SIZE:

5.47 meters long

SPEED:

5000G and Class 1 hyperdrive module, or 12,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere

CAPACITY:

1 pilot and 1 astromech droid

WEAPONS:

Dual laser cannons and 2 secondary ion cannons

DEFENSES:

Light armor plating

DESCRIPTION:

The Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor was a Republic starfighter used later in the Clone Wars and was immensely popular with Jedi pilots. The successor to the Delta-7 Aetherspite was shorter and its mass drastically reduced by removing much of the forward spaceframe. It was still too small to support an onboard hyperdrive, so it still had to rely on hyperdrive booster rings to travel long distances.  While astromech droids had to be hardwired into the Delta-7's spaceframe, the Eta-2 supported a full astromech. The Eta-2 featured s-foils in order to dissipate excess heat from the engines to increase performance during combat. During combat, the interceptor had greater firepower at its disposal than its predescessor, but its limited power systems restricted a continuous rate of fire. Unlike the Delta-7, the Eta-2 interceptor lacked deflector shields. Most of these fighters were painted red or blue with a white undercoat, but Anakin Skywalker's fighter was painted yellow with a metallic underhue. He piloted this fighter with Obi-Wan Kenobi as his wingmate on their mission over Coruscant to rescue the Chancellor. After Skywalker turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader, he received a black-hued Eta-2 interceptor. However, his new armor restricted his movement within the small fighter.
