AT-ST

AT-ST (All Terrain Scout Transport) is a giant, human-controlled, bipedal combat machine from the fictional world of Star Wars. The AT-ST was designed by the Galactic Empire to replace the previous model of the Republic. At the head of the biped, the cabin is lodged, where two crewmembers handle it. The main battles in which they were employed were Endor and Hoth.

Due to its great ability to operate in all terrain and in addition to being able to confront virtually any vehicle of the Rebel Alliance, AT-ST soon won a favorable position within the Galactic Empire.

Due to their speed and maneuverability on open terrain, these bipeds are especially effective in combat infantry. On the side of the cabin of the AT-ST stand out two twin blaster guns. In the port sensor capsule there are two twin light blaster cannons mounted on turret and a grenade launcher protrudes from the capsule to starboard. In addition, each metal leg is equipped with steel claws that can cut cables arranged to make the explorer fall or slice enemy soldiers that come too close. Only a heavy blaster cannon or a laser cannon can penetrate the thick shielding of the scanner, but even then many direct hits are required to cause substantial damage.

In the film saga can be seen in Episode V "The Empire Strikes Back" and in Episode VI "The Return of the Jedi"
