STRENGTHS

Rapid Fire - The standard configuration of the AT-RB07 and its designation is that of a repeating blaster, which is matched in its higher rate of fire compared to other blaster weaponry. This allows the weapon to be deployed in a support capacity or in a defensive position to provide a higher volume of fire for smaller military formations.

Charged Shot - The AT-RB07 was designed with a secondary ability that allows for the concentration of power in the main firing chamber before being released in a powerful shot. This charged shot can result in a more powerful blaster bolt being released than the standard bolts when fired in its standard configuration.

​

WEAKNESSES

Crew Required - For proper and maximum operational efficiency, the AT-RB07 requires a crew of up to three individuals each tasked with a different aspect of ensuring the weapon's operation. The two additional crew members are responsible for maintaining the power generator and the gas feed of the accompanying Tibanna Gas canister.

Power Generator - The AT-RB07 requires a dedicated power generator to properly function. Though theoretically possible to maintain continuous uninterrupted fire, the power generator requires constant minute adjustments to ensure a steady supply of energy to the weapon. Additionally, if damaged, the best case scenario is a weapon that is no longer operable; the worst case scenario the generator becomes an impromptu explosive device that destroys the weapon and can cause harm or potential death to the crew.

Emplacement Weapon - Once the AT-RB07 has been established in a location or firing position, it is nearly impossible to easily move to a new location, often preventing these weapons from being relocated during a battle. If a position is overrun, either the crew will attempt to sabotage the weapon to prevent it from being turned against its former owners, or the position itself will be targeted to prevent the weapon from being captured.

​

DESCRIPTION

The AT-RB07 was developed to provide the Galactic Alliance Defense Force with a heavy support weapon that could be deployed as a dedicated emplacement weapon to secure a position or provide a relatively smaller force with a higher volume of fire when engaging an enemy target. However, the primary drawback of the AT-RB07 is that it requires a full crew of at least three individuals to service and efficiently operate the weapon with each individual tasked with a different aspect of the weapon. Much like the similarly sized designs of the E-Web Repeating Blaster, the AT-RB07 includes a power generator that is directly connected to the weapon to provide it with continuous power rather than relying on smaller power packs or power cells. And though it is possible to fire the weapon continuously, the power generator itself requires constant minute adjustments to ensure that power continues to feed to the primary weapon; likewise, the gas canister also requires additional adjustments to ensure that the weapon's firing chamber is not flooded with Tibanna Gas to prevent a potential catastrophic weapon malfunction or misfire. A somewhat unique aspect of the AT-RB07 compared to other Heavy Repeating Blasters is its ability to charge and unleash a more powerful blaster bolt. This charged shot can provide the gunner with a versatile firing option when it comes to heavier armored infantry or lightly armored vehicles. However, the time that it takes to charge prevents it from being as readily available for use as the standard rapid-fire setting when utilizing the weapon. Likewise, when using either the charged shot or the standard firing setting, the AT-RB07 is known to produce a powerful recoil which can be considered an oddity for a blaster-based weapon. In an attempt to counter this, the weapon is designed to be utilized with a standard tripod or fixed to a location or mount to maintain accuracy and its rate of fire. With conflicts once more raging in the Galaxy and the peace of the Alliance threatened, the addition of the AT-RB07 to the arsenal of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force provides a heavy support weapon that can easily turn the tide of battle as it can keep a location safe.
