STRENGTHS

• Behemoth of War: The Galatine-class Assault Walker was designed to dominate the battle field. The wide array of weapons available to it and the ease of changing these weapons out has made it an incredibly versatile and dangerous force on the battlefield. It can, in turn, receive similar punishment as it can hand out thus making it an all around good and dependable vehicle of war.

WEAKNESSES

• Bipod Problems: The problem with nearly all walkers, and especially bipedal ones, is that the destruction of a leg is incredibly crippling and difficult to repair. While the Galatine-class Assault Walker has reinforced armor and shielding along the legs to make this difficult to achieve, should the legs be sabotaged, destroyed, or caught then the walker is effectively crippled.
• Electronic Warfare: Most of the electronic systems aboard a Galatine-class Assault Walker are simple and are meant to be easy to learn and get the job done. This has, as an after effect, made them vulnerable to slicing. In a fully crewed walker an engineer may be able to fight off slicing attempts but that is entirely dependent on the walker's crew.

DESCRIPTION
The Galatine-class Assault Walker, standing nearly 19 meters tall, is a beast on the battlefield. It's thick armor and heavy weaponry see it wading through enemy fire and more often then not punching harder than it was damaged. This was the role it was designed fore, a mainline battle-walker which strategies could be designed around and which would hog the enemy's attention. The armaments and armor of the Galatine-class Assault Walker has slowed it down. While still faster than the average human's running pace the walker is often air-lifted from its base to the battlefield as most other modern equipment can outpace it.
