• Range: Standing tall and equipped with a powerful sensor suite, the walker is capable of engaging enemies at incredible ranges.
• Maneuver: Designed to be rapid-response artillery, the HR-06 can quickly move around and is impressively nimble despite its size.
• Versatile: With a main gun that can fire a variety of ammunition, as well as a multitude of supporting systems, the walker can fill many roles besides artillery support.
• Reach: Due to its long legs and clearance, the HR-06 can access otherwise problematic terrain or even jump over fortifications.

• Tall: Standing very high off the ground, the walker could potentially be an easy target for the enemy.
• Balance: Without the bracing of its third leg, the walker can be knocked over and require assistance to get back up.
• Rear: As is typical with most tanks and walkers, the rear of the vehicle is the most vulnerable.
• Defense: Designed to be a rear-line vehicle, its defensive capabilities are weakened in favour of superior maneuverability and firepower.

Artillery is the undisputed god of war for any army. Capable of bombarding the enemy with devastating firepower and moving before any returning damage can be done, a solid self-propelled artillery piece is a staple for most armies in the galaxy.

As part of the rearmament effort for the High Republic’s army, a powerful artillery walker was proposed alongside the heavier front-line vehicles.

Equipped with weapons capable of engaging the enemy beyond visible line of sight and two powerful legs to carry those weapons, the HR-06 is able to move freely around the battlefield and lay down devastating barrages on the enemies of the Republic.
