STRENGTHS

• Command and conquer: The AT-ST Layer is first and foremost a command vehicle, being fully equipped to handle leading even the most strenuous military campaigns
• Firepower: Though a command vehicle, the AT-ST Layer is heavily armed, sporting multiple turbolasers and missile launchers capable of firing a variety of different munitions
• Armored: The AT-ST Layer is heavily armored, capable of shrugging off all the but the most damaging attacks
• Scrambled eggs: In addition to its heavy armor, the AT-ST Layer also comes equipped with a variety of electronic warfare systems, giving the vehicle excellent defensive capabilities
• Communicator: The AT-ST comes equipped with a powerful sensor and communications suite, allowing it to coordinate movement between Imperial forces all across the battlefield
• Transporter: The AT-ST Layer is capable of transporting up to ten AT-ST style walkers underneath itself at any given time
• Crusher: The wheels of the AT-ST Layer are quite large, allowing the vehicle to easily crush anything unlucky enough to be in its path

WEAKNESSES

• Huge: The AT-ST Layer is a massive target, nearly impossible for enemy fire to miss even at long range
• Slow: The AT-ST Layer is a rather slow moving vehicle, though it does possess decently fast speed when moving in a straight line for something of its size
• Unmaneuverable: The AT-ST Layer is incredibly unmaneuverable, especially when attempting to make a turn or traverse tight spaces
• Frontal: Most of the weapons installed aboard the AT-ST Layer have a forward firing arc, leaving the vehicle's flanks and rear rather exposed to enemy attack
• Specialized: The AT-ST Layer can only carry AT-ST sized and shaped walkers, being incapable of transporting anything smaller, larger, or not shaped like those style of walkers
• Priority: The AT-ST Layer is a priority target for any enemy force, leading to a near certainty that it will be attacked by enemy forces
• Inconvenient: Something as large and heavy as the AT-ST Layer is incredibly difficult to transport on and off planets, forcing it to rely on the largest transport vessels possible

DESCRIPTION

As the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant continues its conquest of the Outer Rim and its surrounding territories, a need has arisen among the Imperial Remnant for advanced command vehicles capable of coordinating Imperial forces across any battlefield. After considering its options, the Imperial Remnant decided to team up with the N&Z Umbrella Corporation to create the "AT-ST Layer", a vehicle loosely based on the Juggernaut series of tank.

Part transport vehicle, part heavy assault vehicle and part command vehicle, the AT-ST Layer was designed to be able to fulfill a variety of different battlefield roles while still retaining the capabilities needed to command entire armies across any conceivable battlefield. First and foremost, the AT-ST Layer is incredibly heavily armed and armored, sporting turbolasers, missile launchers and some of the most advanced armor ever produced by the N&Z Umbrella Corporation.

For its role as a command vehicle, the AT-ST Layer is equipped with an advanced sensor and communication suite, allowing the vehicle to easily coordinate Imperial actions and movements over large areas with ease. The AT-ST Layer can transmit orders and information across entire planets with its Broadband Antenna and two Sensor Rectenna, and is capable of identifying battle threats with its NZ SAP-2A SSA and NZ MTS "Bloodhound" [Magnetic Targeting Sensor].

Perhaps the most unique feature of the AT-ST Layer is its ability to carry up to ten AT-ST Style walkers with it at any given time, being capable of transporting TIE Walkers, All Terrain Scout Walkers, All Terrain Scout Transports and All Terrain Armored Assault Walkers beneath its massive undercarriage. These walkers can be used to supplement the AT-ST Layer's already considerable firepower and to protect it flanks and rear from enemy counterattacks.

Only reserved for the most important military campaigns, the AT-ST Layer represents a serious commitment of Imperial Remnant forces whenever it is deployed onto a planet of battlefield. Should this vehicle be deployed, it means that Mahporeem is particularly invested in its battlefield success and that it is willing to expend considerable resources into securing a victory over those who it considers to be its enemies.
