Legend

this small walker, known officially as the All-Terrain Attack Pod, was developed for the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The AT-AP was essentially a larger version of the AT-PT, with room for a gunner in addition to the operations station of the pilot. It moved about on two heavy legs, and the clamshell cockpit was completely enclosed. A heavy laser cannon was mounted on the nose, and a turret-mounted blaster cannon sat atop the AT-AP. A fifty-round projectile launcher was also part of the vehicle's armament. To provide a more stable platform for firing laser cannon, the AT-AP was equipped with a retractable third leg that dropped down from the front of the walker. This third leg could only be deployed while the AT-AP was stationary, but was required for firing the laser cannon.
