Versatility - Designed to be a dynamic force multiplier, the two weapon loadouts allow for some flexibility in the walker's role on the battlefield.
Shell - Designed for crew safety, the Hull has been up-armored and given special attention to both survivability and durability.

Figured Out - Being that it is a bipedal vehicle, it can be brought to a halt with appropriate attacks to knock out the legs thus removing the vehicle from a fight.
Purpose - Different loadouts are designed for different tasks, meaning a Scamp Walker will have difficulty with heavy vehicles, while a Rascal Walker will have difficulty with infantry.

Seeing a glaring lack of dedicated military vehicles for Naboo, PGEM put forward a bid to produce an armored vehicle in the form of a Walker to fill that void.

A great many designs were put forward, and ultimately reached a consensus with utilizing a more specialized variant that preceded a great number of other designs.

Seeing potential, the initial design was given to Royal Engineers to make their own in terms of both layout and general esthetic.

Ending with a rounded design that was an ever present feature amongst most everything designed and built for Naboo. The potential of sloped armor not being overlooked in any way as the general design was first mocked up. Interior space was already cramped with the projected weapon emplacements requiring internal system area, and ultimately only allowed one entry point to the vehicle in the form of the Theadian viewport to the front of the vehicle.

A call back to the initial design, the Strider-class Transport is operated by a singular pilot. Requiring extensive training to multi-task for the various roles the Walker could fulfill. As a forward scout, a harassing element on enemy fortifications, or as escort for slower vehicles.

In turn creating the line of Strider-class Walkers that could fill a desperately needed support role. With the Rascal variant being the generalized walker loadout for both anti-armor, and anti-vehicle purposes paired with twin mortar launchers to aid in their potential damage output to offset the decently rapid firing laser cannon with acceptable destructive potential. The following Scamp variant leaned into anti-infantry with light laser cannons that wielded a high rate of fire in exchange for range while retaining the twin mortar launchers for both artillery use and squad disruption.

Built around a singular chassis and system to make repairs and maintenance a far more manageable task with the large numbers that were projected for production.
