STRENGTHS

• Shielded: The AT-SG is capable of generating a large energy shield around itself, protecting anything inside the shield from enemy fire
• Heavy duty: The shield that the AT-SG generates is capable of withstanding vehicle grade weaponry, though the shield will eventually fail under prolonged fire
• Weapon of destruction: At its core, the AT-SG is still an AT-AT, being heavily armed and armored, though not as heavily armed as other Mahporeenian variants
• Morale boost: The AT-SG often has a positive impact on troop morale, whether or not it is actually effective when in combat
• SMASH: The AT-SG's durasteel footpads and easily crush through infantry and defensive positions

WEAKNESSES

• Shielded: Anything within the radius of the AT-SG's shield will be unable to fire outward from under it, unless they leave the safety of the shield itself
• Heavy duty: Though powerful, the AT-SG's shield will fail under prolonged fire, and restarting it takes a considerable amount of time
• Walk on through: The AT-SG's shield is incapable of defeating slow moving projectiles, and can simply be breached by walking through it
• Fragile: Though the AT-SG is heavily armored, its Shield Generator component is exposed to enemy attack and easy to destroy
• Specialized: The addition of the AT-SG's shield generator prevents the walker from carrying additional troops or cargo

DESCRIPTION

The AT-AT has always been a symbol of Imperial might and domination. However, as imposing and intimidating as the vehicle is, it does have a host of weaknesses that can make it vulnerable, especially against aerial threats. To rectify these issues, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has developed a highly specialized variant of the vehicle, the AT-SG, or "All Terrain Shield Generator".

Much like its namesake implies, the AT-SG is capable of generating an energy shield over a large area and in a wide radius, protecting anything that might be hiding inside of the shield itself. The technology used on the vehicle is quite similar to examples seen in use with the Gungan Army, and the AT-SG will protect anything inside of it from vehicle grade weaponry and all but the most powerful Sith spells, making the walker invaluable to the Imperial Remnant.

Of course, such a system is not without flaw: anything inside the shield is incapable of firing out of it unless they step outside the shield itself, and should the shield go down, it takes a considerable amount of time for it to get back up and running. Most importantly, the shield is physically incapable of stopping slow moving projectiles from going through it, and can easily be breached by simply walking right through the shield itself.
