STRENGTHS

• Behemoth: The All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker is an immensely large ground vehicle, something that can be highly intimidating for ground troops to face
• Firepower: Though it is not intended as a combat vehicle, the All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker boasts a powerful array of weapons, including light turbolasers, heavy turbolasers and a highly unusual lightning gun
• Recovery: The All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker can easily lift and recover any ground vehicle in Imperial Remnant inventory, along with being able to lift certain capital ship sized vessels
• Armored: The All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker is heavily armored, making it difficult to destroy during combat operations

WEAKNESSES

• Behemoth: Because it is so large, the All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker is nearly impossible for enemy forces to miss, even from long range
• Lumbering: The All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker is easily the slowest and least maneuverable ground vehicle within the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant
• Priority: Because it is capable of recovering nearly and ground and many aerial assets, the All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker is often a priority target for enemy forces
• Walker: The All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker can easily become unbalanced if operated incorrectly, and the loss of just one of it's legs will cause the vehicle to come crashing down to the ground

DESCRIPTION

Though an immensely important military asset to the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant, the original All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker was starting to show its age by 904 A.B.Y, prompting the Imperial Remnant to contact the N&Z Umbrella Corporation for upgrades and refurbishments to the salvage walker. To ensure that the vehicle would be able to serve for decades to come, the N&Z Umbrella Corporation decided to increase it combat abilities and add new mechanical and electronic subsystems to the walker.

A Quad NZ HP1 Turbolaser Turret and a Twin NZ HP2 Heavy Turbolaser Turret was added to the vehicle to better allow it to survive during combat operations, along with a highly unusual Lightning Gun. Ostensibly added to allow the walker to power damaged planetary shield generators, the Lightning Gun would prove to be a powerful weapon in its own right, capable of frying infantry, vehicles and starcraft alike.

Other improvements to the walker included a new sensor array, the installation of a droid brain and new operating system, an upgraded fusion reactor to help power the walker and the ability for the walker to use Dornean Plasma within its weaponry. Beyond that, the original function of the All Terrain Heavy Salvage Walker remains unchanged, that being asset recovery and salvaging. The walker does naturally retain nearly all the weaknesses of its original model, including laughably slow speed, horrendous mobility, a massive target profile and an inability to be carried onto other planets by most dropships and transports.
