EquipmentEdit

AT-RT drivers wore distinctive camouflaged armor and carried weapons such as a DC-15A blaster rifle, a DC-15S blaster, and a number of thermal detonators. AT-RT drivers of the 7th Sky Corps wore unique orange and white armor. Some AT-RT drivers were known to carry large weapons slung over their back in addition to their DC-15 rifles.

Their helmet featured a boosted-range comlink for when they were operating separate from their walkers. Also, to aid in their patrol and scouting duties, they often carried a circular lifeform scanner attached to the strap of the large gun slung over their back.

HistoryEdit

AT-RT drivers in the 41st Elite Corps^[1] saw action during the Battle of Kashyyyk, while others, like the 91st Reconnaissance Corps^[2] served in many other battles in the Clone Wars. AT-RT drivers of the 501st legion were also present during the a battle on Umbara, and later on Kiros. After the implementation of Order 66, these troops helped hunt down surviving Wookiees and Jedi on Kashyyyk.
