Description:
The All Terrain Hunter Killer or simply AT-HK as it was known to the layman was designed as a simple replacement for the very aging AT-ST. It was designed as nothing more than a fast attack and reconnaissance vehicle, created in order to full fill a much needed roll in any military.
The AT-HK was created by Titan Industries to full fill the demand the One Sith had for a patrol and reconnaissance vehicle able to protect itself on both fledgling and developed worlds. The Design of the vehicle itself harkens back to the design of the Old Galactic Empire AT-ST, though it is slightly larger and more bulky. This extra bulk is due to added weapons systems, and slightly upgraded armor, as well as the addition of a third leg.
These additions were thrown onto the AT-HK for multiple reasons, the chief of which was to make the AT-HK slightly more durable than the old AT-ST.
The addition of heavier armor and a third leg make the AT-HK slightly slower than the AT-ST as well as making it more difficult to handle, pilots of these new scout walkers require longer training and more time with the machine to fully comprehend just how it moves, it also makes it far more difficult for just anyone to steer the craft, something that most AT-HK crewmembers actually see as an advantage.
All in all the AT-HK is nothing more than an updated, slightly changed AT-ST.
