The Variable Altitude Assault Transport/ enforcement (VAAT/e) was a predecessor to the LAAT gunship used primarily by the Coruscant Security Force as a rapid troop deployment platform.

CharacteristicsEdit

It was manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering and measured 25 meters in length, 7 meters in height, and had a wingspan measuring 25 meters. Its cargo capacity was about 36 cubic meters in the main hold, and it could carry about 15 troops and 1 IM-6 battlefield medical droid.

Its crew consisted of one pilot, one copilot/gunner, and two auxiliary turret gunners. It was armed with a concussion missile launcher and two dual heavy laser cannon turrets.

HistoryEdit

A VAAT/e was used against Jango Fett by the Coruscant Security Force after he assassinated Senator Connus Trell.^[1]

During the Galactic Civil War, this vehicle was used by Galactic Vacant Building Demolitions to destroy abandoned buildings in low-orbit aerial bombardment, using concussion missiles.^[2]
