TX-225 GAVw "Occupier" combat assault tank

The TX-225 GAVw "Occupier" combat assault tank, also known as the TX-225 GAVw Combat Assault Tank, the TX-225A Occupier tank, or simply the Imperial combat assault tank, was a track-propelled ground assault vehicle used by the Galactic Empire, and operated by a commander and two pilots. The tank had great maneuverability in tight quarters, such as the streets of occupied cities. Its laser cannons could devastate enemy troops, and the powerful engines could transport heavy payloads.

Rothana Heavy Engineering's TX-225 GAVw assault tank was the Imperial Army's premier light urban combat vehicle. Part of the TX-225 Occupier line, the GAVw was a rugged vehicle that could be found in mechanized infantry divisions and the Galactic Empire's Stormtrooper Corps, where the GAVw filled a much-needed support and patrol role in the Empire's Order of Battle. The tank was typically deployed in occupied cities and within Imperial military facilities rather than on the front lines, and were a common sight in urban centers with high amounts of unrest. Remarkably versatile, Occupiers were capable of fighting, providing support fire, and carrying troops and cargo with equal ease. While the GAVw possessed treads, another variant of the TX-225 was repulsorlift-equipped TX-225 GAVr "Occupier" combat assault tank. the
