Legend

this series of military repulsorcraft was designed and manufactured by Ubrikkian for use by the Empire. They were five times faster than standard AT-AT walkers, more maneuverable than a walker, and were armed with a heavy laser cannon and a medium laser cannon. There were three versions of the tank, each more powerful and stronger than the previous. The 1-L tank is the standard version, and the most economical. The 1-M tank is stronger than the 1-L, but not as well-defended as the 1-H, which is the most powerful Imperial-class tank. 1,500 Imperial-class tanks were initially produced. 1,420 were shipped to the first Death Star, and the remainder were assigned to Hell's Hammers. All the Death Star's tanks were lost in the Battle of Yavin, while many of the Hell's Hammers' tanks were destroyed on Turak IV. Production was somewhat limited afterward.
