Modified assault transport for ground support. Heavy lasers and 4 light turbolaser mounts. Platoon-company carriage depending on length of mission. The idea is basically a mobile “chunk of fortress” – guns heavy enough to take most plausible ground vehicles, enough troops to deploy to take small points, and shields and mobility to be safe from hand-held weapons and plausibly survive against air vehicles short of starfighters.
Imperial LAAT? I like it! Perhaphs a variant as a gunboat? Or close range fighter defense for, say, an Imperator?
Awesome design, maybe increase the shield strength and stonger hull, plus peehaps increase the size to hold at least. 100 troops

I’m guessing this thing will use repulsorlifts for mobility?
Yep – relatively good performance in atmosphere and low orbit, but drops off a lot in space (and no hyper), so ideally it gets carried on a dropship.
Oh, so it can actually fly, like a LAAT. I guess I was assuming it was just an armored landspeeder.
Cool Idea. Not sure about that fin on it’s back just yet. But I’m sure you’ll do something awesome with it!
