- Fast: The R-91B was designed to be fast so that it could respond to changing scenarios quickly.
- Turns on a Dime: The R-91B is highly maneuverable.
- Defensive Systems: The R-91B is equipped with a deflector shield and has durasteel armor to increase its survivability.
Weaknesses:
- Light Armament: The R-91B is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle first and foremost. As such, it is only armed with a light blaster cannon and four concussion missiles, meant for softening up infantry defenses.
- Explosives may Overturn: The R-91B hovers four feet above surfaces. If the surface it is hovering over is solid, an explosive discharged under the tank can effectively flip the R-91B, rendering it useless.
- Small Squadrons: The deflector shields and repulsorlift technology used to produce the R-91B make it an expensive IFV. To negate the costs of making these vehicles, the Remnant only permits four vehicles per squadron.
DESCRIPTION:
Designed by Republic Remnant engineers from Mon Cala and Aridus, the R-91B "Liberator" is a repulsorlift vehicle designed for combating enemy infantry. The R-91B's speed and manueverability allow it to swiftly move around battlefields, and its defensive capabilities and repulsorlifts allow it to fight alongside allied soldiers on frontlines across the galaxy.
