Description: Perhaps what is considered the terrifying might of the Imperial Military is their vast array of devastating vehicles. Quite possibly able to be considered the strongest faction in terms of vehicle versatility and variety, the Empire is no slouch when it comes to the utilization of their weapons of war and have organized their forces to the best of their ability in the face of a galaxy quite determined to keep them down.
While unable to be wielded to their fullest in recent conflicts, they were put to use in the Sith invasion of the former stronghold world of Crina. While the Sith never landed a full invasion force to combat the Imperial Battalions deployed to combat them, a result of the Empire's foresight to fortify the space around the fortress world to delay invaders to complete evacuations before enemy touchdown, they were certainly in positions ideal for anticipating hostile forces targets.
Some such forces were the newly organized Imperial Mechanized Corp's Companies, one arrayed in the valley of the mountains intercepting the path between the then Royal Palace and Crina's Capital City. Its makeup and composition have come to be common of Imperial Vehicle Brigades following the transition to a combat force capable of battle under any situation and circumstance, and while that's certainly easy to create a combat armor to handle different environments, making a combat vehicle to handle every scenario is much more problematic.
As such every Mechanized Company in the Imperial Army is outfitted and supplied with vehicles for varying circumstances, even if it means said vehicles will not be employed in every invasion or combat zone. For instance, while the common deployment of the Mechanized Company alongside a force of Stormtrooper Regiments would consist of at least one AT-FAT flanked by a pair of AT-ATs and supporting AT-STs and AT-AWs, planets whose mountainous terrain may call for the heavy vehicles to be sidelined for more appropriate MT-ATs capable scaling mountain slopes and cliff faces with little difficulty. The same could be said of the Aquatic Terrain Armored Transport filling the role of the aforementioned task force on a water world.
The Mechanized Corp's combat Companies are even outfitted with units capable of non-lethal situations, with Riot Control All Terrain Transports armed with supressor guns to maintain disturbances without causing harm. Nonetheless, it is more common to see the typical force of Walkers backed by repulsor vehicles such as the A9 Floating Fortress or X130 Saber Tank more than anything else.
And while the Mechanized Companies are not as equipped for infantry combat as their comrades in the Stormtrooper Corp, they are more equipped to deal with threats from enemy vehicles even without the aid of their own, through the use of their more expansive demolition equipment and array of explosive mine selections. Even so it is more common to see a Stormtrooper Company alone than a Mechanized Company, who is more often than not deployed alongside their infantry comrades to bring more vehicles to a combat zone as well as increase the efficiency of forming a field HQ and maintaining their vehicles and droids from their increased number of enlisted maintenance staff in exchange for the Stormtrooper Corp's support in performing the tasks they cannot, such as securing an enemy structure once the mechanized company has cleared the path.
