SPECIAL FEATURES
The All Terrain Heavy Ordnance can only use its heavy turbolasers in a 'lock down' mode. In this mode the AT-HO is incapable of movement and is locked in it's current position. Once locked the middle section of the walker will open, allowing the heavy turbolasers to extend and fire. Once this mode is disabled the turbolasers will retract and the middle of the walker will close once more, allowing movement.
Strengths:
- Modular Artillery: The heavy artillery turbolaser is swapable and is capable of being swapped for either an ion cannon or concussion missile launcher
- Siege Engine: The AT-HO was designed to hit enemy defenses and hit them hard. The damage the AT-HO can inflict with just a few shots of the heavy turbolaser alone can be devastating
- Hexapedal: The addition of a third set of legs prevents the AT-HO from being tripped by any pesky tow cables.
- Highly Protected: The titanium plating on the walker makes it a rather tough target to take down. Even the legs of the walker are rather well protected with a titanium plating. On top of all of this the three AA guns on the top of the AT-HO can make it difficult for aircraft to even attempt to get close enough to take it down.
Weaknesses:
- High Energy Drain: The energy drain of the AT-HO is ridiculously high, requiring 6 fusion drive systems to even fully function
- Vulnerable Artillery: While the artillery is firing much of the midsection's armor, and one of the AA guns, are gone which makes the AT-HO extremely vulnerable.
- Extremely Slow: The massive frame of the walker makes it extremely slow, slower than even other walkers.
DESCRIPTION
The whole idea behind the AT-HO is quite obvious as it is a mobile artillery walker for the First Order. While many walkers serve the purpose of transport the All Terrain Heavy Ordnance serves a single purpose, destruction. The AT-HO is designed to devastate enemy defenses or vehicles with it's powerful heavy turbolaser but is still sturdy enough to take on front line duty if it is needed. It's best during mainly land based assaults as it is best protected against vehicles and infantry. Although it is capable of fighting off aircraft, they still maintain the best chance against an AT-HO due to their high maneuverability. The design of the AT-HO is a mix between the AT-AT, AT-TE, and the SPHA of old.
