Description:
The HART is a heavy battle tank closely based on the clone-wars era AAT, borrowing from the AAT with its rough shape and dimensions. Due to its heavy durasteel armour its max speed is low, and it is therefore unable to evade faster craft. The advantage to the armour is that it is highly absorbent and protective, and will deflect blaster bolts, which provides it with an anti-infantry advantage, alongside its low frame which will wipe infantry off their feet.
To further combat infantry, it uses two laser cannons which can cut clean through infantry ranks. It also has artillery functions due to its heavy laser cannon and dual mass driver cannons which can be loaded with varying types of ammunition stored within the wings. Entrance to the tank is gained via the rear, which gives it both a weak and blind spot, due to the lack of rear-facing weaponry beyond the 360 degree rotation of the heavy laser turret.
