STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths:
- [+] Firepower: With an array of weapons, the Striker boasts impressive firepower.
- [-] Unarmored Joints: Were the vulnerable joints to be struck by a sufficiently powerful weapon, it could cripple the walker.
The Striker was designed to fill the role of a light walker, which could be rapidly deployed to the battlefield. Commonly delivered via drop pods from overhead Star Destroyers, the Striker could quickly be inserted to reinforce besieged positions, or aid in assaults.
A large number of Striker units could be dispatched in a single descent, due to the walker's compact nature. The walker's 'limbs' could be folded in, to severely reduce its volume.
The Striker's primary weakness would derive from its compact nature, specifically, its unarmored joints. If struck by a sufficiently powerful explosive, it could cripple the walker. Leaving it as easy prey for predators.
