STRENGTHS

• We've Captured a Command Post! >
  • The G40 Series is the latest iteration of the Armored Assault Tank, first produced for the Trade Federation before the beginning of the Clone Wars. Boasting a reinforced hull and an impressive array of powerful weapon systems modernized for today's engagements.
• Intermediary Shielding Systems >
  • In order to secure its survival during confrontations with adversary walkers and tanks on the battleground, the G40 Series is furnished with a deflector shield system of moderate quality, along with additional sub-shielding mechanisms, to safeguard its comparatively delicate interior from hostile firepower.
• Anti-Infantry >
  • Similar to its historical precursor, the G40 Series AAT has been specifically engineered to engage enemy infantry units on the battlefield. It is outfitted with a wide array of anti-infantry armaments strategically placed throughout its structure, enabling it to effectively navigate through enemy fortifications and defensive positions with the support of friendly ground forces.

WEAKNESSES

• Light Combatant >
  
  • Despite the numerous enhancements incorporated in the G40 Series, they do not meet the armament requirements anticipated in modern warfare. While other tanks boast an array of weaponry and multiple high-powered armaments, this AAT prioritizes cost-effectiveness over immediate destructive capability, making it more suitable for prolonged engagements.
• Rocket Launchers >
  • The G40 Series shares a common vulnerability with its predecessor in terms of portable rocket launchers and artillery, as its relatively light armor is insufficient to withstand the impact of these powerful explosives.

DESCRIPTION

The G40 Series Armored Assault Tank is the next iteration of the AAT Tank that was utilized by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Trade Federation during the Clone Wars Era. Manufactured during the Galactic Chaos Era by Vehicle Manufacturer Nen-Cavron, a subsidiary of the InterGalactic Technology Union, which is in turn a subsidiary of the Trade Federation of Planets.

The main purpose behind their production was to develop an affordable assault tank for the Trade Federation of Planets in order to safeguard their interests in a constantly evolving galactic frontier, all the while maintaining a powerful vehicle in reserve to bolster their ground-based wave-infantry strategies.

Despite the availability of numerous foundries, every new vehicle or starship manufactured by the Federation necessitates resources and maintenance facilities to ensure their repair. Consequently, the AAT Design had little overall changes and appears virtually identical to its ancient predecessor.
