The All Terrain Experimental Transport (AT-XT) was an experimental armored assault walker used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. It was a predecessor to the AT-RT and AT-ST, the latter of which would be used extensively by the Galactic Empire.

[edit] Characteristics
The AT-XT was equipped with twin laser cannons mounted under its chin and two long-range proton mortar launchers.
Also, as a defensive measure, some units were equipped with a plasma shield capable of absorbing enemy fire for a short period of time. In spite of its slow speed, it was capable of demolishing enemy columns.
[edit] History
The AT-XT was never mass-produced, but held enough numbers to see action throughout all three years of the Clone Wars. In addition, several bipedal walker-designs would continue as its design-legacy, throughout both the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War.
Even though it never saw as much combat like other walkers such as the AT-TE or the AT-RT, the design would later be valuable to Republic designers as an inspiration for the AT-ST.
