The MOB-1 Mobile Operation Base is a large command base that can be used as a forward command center. Similar to an AT-TE in size, the MOB's primary armament comes in the form of a particle bolt cannon, and an ion artillery piece. Along with these are anti-personnel cannons and, in keeping with a more Jedi-like design philosophy, stun cannons. This mobile base also features great defenses, including a wide area plasma bubble shield. The vehicle serves as a powerful comms center, and possesses an advanced medical room, taking lessons from former vessels created for Clan Tal. There are some issues though.
The MOB is large, slow and cumbersome, making it a fairly easy target to hit. While the speed can be an issue, the larger issue can be the plasma shield. While the shield is great protection, it also limits the weapons fire the base can bring to bare. The shield effectively blocks the MOD's own particle and ion cannons, and can prevent vehicles from deploying. This means that using the shield has to be timed, if weapons and vehicles need to be used.
