This thing reminds me of a bipedal First Order walker seen for a very few brief moments on Kijimi in Episode IX. perhaps you could make a story for it where the First Order combined an AT-DP, AT-AT, and AT-ST to get this thing.
Also, could w get some statistics, like crew, weapons armor?

Kal Skirata
Yeah, it kind of does, although Fractal made this one long before we got the UA-TT (the First Order walker from Kijimi). Fractal said that this is supposed to have about 80% of the armor strength of the AT-AT. As for weaponry, it appears to have an AT-AT main armament–2 heavy laser cannons and 2 medium blasters–plus 2 concussion missile launchers, a dual repeating blaster turret, and I think a concussion grenade launcher. I’m not sure about crew complement, but I estimate around 3-5. I confess, I’m not the best at assesing crew sizes, and it doesn’t help that SW… Read more »

I wish I had some of these in Thrawn’s Revenge. They’d take out plenty of “rebel scum” that’s for sure.

Oh my god. It looks like an AT AT and a Stalker from Battletech had a baby. I WANT this now. This needs to be in SW.

Just headcanoning away The All-Terrain Storm Walker (AT-SW) The AT-SW came about after four years of research and development as well as hundreds of simulations and trials. Whilst the Imperial Navy was growing as was the Stormtrooper Corps, the number of ground vehicles available to them was shrinking. The versatile and flexible AT-TE was being retired or put into garrison duty and away from frontline forces whilst many Army Officers and Corps Commanders felt that the AT-AT was a rather poor replacement for the AT-TE. Whilst tougher and better protected and far more intimidating, the AT-TE was also more flexible,… Read more »

I can’t help it, this walker reminds me of a Gizka, lol, those little critters from KOTOR.

I wonder if repuslorlift ejection seats might make sense for a tall walker like this, or the AT-AT for that matter. If sensors in the legs detect that the vehicle is falling and cannot be stabilized, or the reactor has sustained enough damage to be susceptible to a catastrophic explosion, the crew needs to get out, fast. Conventional hatches work for tanks, but being stuck on the top of a burning, falling 6-story walker would kind of suck.
Guest
Sorican
well, if the empire cared about it’s people enough for ejection seats…. they’d probably just design their walkers to not blow up when they fall over. but this is irrelevant… probably because they designed their walkers to blow up when falling over… on purpose. This prevents strategic information (aka the pilots) from falling into the hands of rebel scum, as well as more or less intact equipment.
Uh…no? The tripped AT-AT fell at Hoth and looked structurally fine. It took another strafing run to cause the explosion (I suspect after hypothetical failure of hypothetical shields after ground impact).

Acceleration compensators that can neutralize thousands of G’s are standard tech in the SWU. Incorporating something with even a tenth of that capacity into ground vehicles to protect against crashes and such would be well within the technology limits of the SWU.
Guest
Chris Bradshaw
In addition to what Fractal said, every default TIE comes stock with ejection seats. I’m sure that there are data wipe protocols for sensitive information, but that doesn’t mean vehicles are designed to kill their crew.

They Dont blow up from fallng over! In Ep V, that was because the rebels fired on its weak section ( aka neck ) fter it fell over.

Hey I was just looking over some old designs and I had a question.
How do the side doors open on the (LAAV/i) as in vertically or horizontally?. I was trying to figure it out but couldn’t.
I think is most likely the latter and it would open like a slide door.

How many of these walker does everyone guess can fit on the front half of Chi main bay? Two or Three? Seems like squatted down they take up the floorspace of two Broadswords side by side?
I’ll admit, I love it cause it reminds me of a Zentraedi battle pod.
Guest
Steve
I absolutely love this design.

PhantomFury
What combat role is this filling for again? If I’d have to guess, supporting the initial offensive.
Guest
Steve
IIRC its more like a main battle walker kind of thing. The AT-AT for all its size is a glorified M113 APC with some big guns. Its a troop carrier, this thing is a dedicated ‘imma kick you in the teeth’ fighting vehicle.
Guest
Chris Bradshaw
The Imperial M113 is that dinky little repulsorlift troop transport from the Rebels cartoon. The AT-AT is more like a super-heavy IFV. The best real world analogue would be an up-gunned Israeli Namer.
Guest
Kal Skirata
I think he was reffering to the real-world M113, not Imperial.

AKA it’s mean’t for blowing big holes in enemy defenses that AT-ATs can go through

Hey is there anywhere I can find stats on your ships like weapons and weapon types? I tried to find something but all I found was someone who thought medium turbolasers were super heavy turbos lol.

Search for “Star Wars Ships Design Technical Notes 1” on the site, it should be listed for you.

Steven A Futrell
I was thinking more on the lines of how many weapons does it have and what types the total armament of each ship.
Guest
TheIcthala
We generally try to figure that out ourselves. Fractal doesn’t tend to keep a count unless it’s a commissioned ship with a certain armament specified by the client.
Some ships have estimates in their comment threads, but I don’t think there’s any database where they’ve all been compiled.

O I’m so happy I’e been wanting to see this in 4k and finished for quite a while now 😀
The one I am really anticipating though is the finished LAAV in 4k I really wanna see that one.

So this thing is cool, detail is awesome. The idea of projectile pods on the front similar to an assault gunboat are very nice. it looks like an appropriately armored biped. However, it doesn’t look anything like the ATAT. looks like it’s manufactured for a totally different regime. If this was for some other group, like maybe the mandalorian’s I might buy that.

This walker is actually heavily inspired by a walker that looks very similar to it in the EU comics they were seen protection the emperors citadel.

The X-1 was used by the rebels. Rather, the inspiration came from an imperial walker, which only appear in a single panel of the fifth issue of the Dark Empire II comic, defending the bridge leading to the emperor citadel as said previously.

No I don’t think the walkers had an official name as far as I know they’re unnamed. But Fractal did say those walkers are what he based the storm walker off of.
