The mobile artillery was a repulsorlift weapons platform used by the Galactic Empire.
Characteristics
Edit
The mobile artillery was relatively small and its projectile cannon was mainly effective against infantry, having a hard time causing damage to armored targets. In some ways, it was the counterpart to the AT-AA, taking out land-based targets while the walker handled aircraft.
Although fragile, the mobile artillery was fast and could quickly deploy its main gun. It did so by first deploying forward and lateral support beams, dropping to the ground and raising the main turret.
These artillery-units were carried into the battlefield inside Sentinel-class landing craft. They were often complemented by larger artillery units, such as the heavy artillery repulsorcraft.
