Strengths:
Heavy firepower - The AT-FSW packs a punch and loads out a formidable support fire weapons load.
Hardened Hull - The AT-FSW is covered in multiple layers of thick armor plating over its entire hull.
Weaknesses:
No Rear Arc Weapons - The AT-FSW is designed to position itself at the rear of an Infantry column and provide heavy support fire. It has no weapons capable of engaging targets behind it.
No Anti-aircraft weapons - The AT-FSW has no weapons can only elevate with the body of the walker and can not engage aircraft above the targeting line of sight of the walker.
Achilles Heel - The AT-FSW is covered in heavy armor over most of its body and legs but is weak at the knee joints
Description:
The AT-FSW utilizes the command pod of a standard AT-AT with an improved Bi-pedal body. Four officers sit side by said in two tierd levels with the commander and weapons officer on the top tier and the pilot and co-pilot/communications officer on the bottom tier. Beyond this no internal room is set aside for crew. Most of the internal space of the walker has been resurved for power and weapons regulations systems leaving only a small ventral compartment for cargo. Thick 9095-T8511 grade durasteel armor covers most of the AT-FSW's body with double layers protecting the command pod, engineering and power sections, and the weapons capacitors and power regulation compartments.
Four Laser Targeting Scope are mounted on the command head of the walker, each scanning and targeting up to forty contacts then running data into the AT-FSW's targeting computer for analysis. The data from each scope is then analyzed and compared then feed to the weapons officers of the AT-FSW. The Targeting computer now has one solution based on four redundant solutions for improved targeting.
As its main weapon systems two Heavy Laser Cannons are mounted above the command pod flanking it on each side. Abover these two Rapid Fire Laser Cannons are mounted for long range heavy anti-infantry duty. A single turret is mounted under the chin of the command pod which mounts a Turreted Dual Blaster Cannon for point defense and anti0infantry at close range. A pair of sponson turrets are mounted on the sides of the re-enforced command structure housing one of the following weapon systems.
* Twin Blaster Cannon Sponson - house two KT6 Heavy Blaster Cannons with an effective range of five hundred meters.
* Single Laser Cannon Sponson - mounted a single DF.9 Laser Cannon with an effective range of two kilometers.
* Dual Repeater Cannon Sponsons - mounted two LS-150 Heavy Accelerated Charged Particle Repeater Guns in an over under configuration. Each was belt feed disintegrating plasma cartridges from a flank mounted magazine which held two thousand rounds each. The weapon had a one kilometer range and a five hundred round per minute rate of fire.
* Immolator Sponson - mounted two CR-28 Heavy Flame Cannons which projected a double cone spread of fire eighteen meters long and twelve meters wide. Each cannon mount housed six canisters each for a total of 300 full cone shots each.
* Ordinance Sponson - mounts a rapid fire grenade launcher with twenty grenades in a rear loading magazine with a range up to one hundred meters. Around it a Variable warhead launcher rack which can hold up to twelve missiles of various types. This launcher has an effective range of two kilometers and can be loaded for a variety of mission profiles.This load out was generally chosen from the following list of available missiles types.
* Concussion Missiles
* Flechétte Missiles
* Incendiary Cluster Missiles
* Carbonite Missiles
* LC-9 Thermite Torpedo
