All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport

The All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport (AT-ACT) was a larger version of the standard All Terrain Armored Transport combat walker that featured a dedicated cargo bed for the transportation of heavy building materials or combat munitions.

The All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport was deployed at major Galactic Empire construction projects, such as shipyards and sprawling research installations. Although the AT-ACT was not built for combat it was still capable of posing a formidable threat to infantry as discovered by Rebel troopers during the Battle of Scarif. The walker's taller profile gave it a faster stride than an AT-AT, although at the expense of structural stability. To give the knee joints extra strength when carrying cumbersome loads, an electromagnetic tensor field kept the overstressed motive assembly in smooth alignment. The magnetically sealed cargo module housed within the AT-ACT's frame encompassed nearly 550 cubic meters of space and was capable of carrying raw material or combat munitions. Loads were carefully managed by stevedore droids who divided up partial holds of ultradense materials into manageable trips. Powerful engines and tensor field-supported legs kept the massive AT-ACTs moving forward, from mining sites to processing facilites, carrying cargo in situations where repulsorfields were unreliable or not suitable due to material incompatibilities. The AT-ACT's footpads distributed its weight. The articulated neck had an access tube leading to the cockpit. The cabin had a reinforced viewport, ventilation grid, and ladder rungs leading to an emergency exit hatch. The AT-ACT was armed with two Taim & Bak MS-2 heavy laser cannons.
