SPECIAL FEATURES

• The AT-AW has a host of advanced equipment to make it an effective combat unit.
  • FAE/S-12 "Dream Sight" Combat Sensor System Mk. II - Excellent Situational Awareness
  • FAE/S-06 Reactive Targeting Matrix v1.0.1 - Excellent Targeting System
  • FAE/S-13 Unified Engagement Network - Collectively shares data from all units equipped with it
  • FAE/S-11 Universal Communication Matrix - Excellent Communication Suite
• The AT-AW also has two FAE/SW-11 Medium HBCs as its main armament giving it exceptional versatility in combat, from masers to cryogenic beams. These are operated by the pilot.
• The cheek-mounted NZ-2A laser cannons have an approximately 90-degree field of fire, being able to aim forward and to the sides. with good vertical movement as well. These guns are either controlled by the co-pilot, the commander, or both operating a single side.

STRENGTHS

• Fast: The AT-AW is meant to be the vanguard of an Armored Walker unit, therefore, it can move at breakneck speeds and has the maneuverability to back it up.
• Well-Armored Hull: The Hull/cockpit area of this walker is well-protected with a composite armor layout.
• Combat Versatility: The hybrid beam cannons and the NZ laser cannons give this unit a host of versatility. The beam cannons offer different fire modes to deal with different situations and the NZ laser cannons have their pattened five-bolt burst for extreme bursts of damage and a single shot mode for even better accuracy.

WEAKNESSES

• Rear Vulnerability: While the font of this unit is well-armed and well-protected, the rear itself is quite bare. If the unit has a rotary blaster cannon equipped on its commander's coupla that would be the only rear-facing weapon at its disposal.
• Lightly-Armored Legs: While the legs of the AT-AW have reinforced leg joints, the legs themselves only have a thin segurium light plating on them, making them less armored than the hull.

DESCRIPTION
The All Terrain Assault Walker is the first walker in N&Z's arsenal, albeit a simplistic one. While the AT-AW has a few bells and whistles, it is comparatively low-tech when compared against other heavier walkers of this era. However, this design was made that way to facilitate the idea of a fast-moving, assault-based bipedal walker. The AT-AW is meant to be the vanguard in an armored walker unit, they are meant to be the point of the spear that breaks through enemy lines.

Armed with a moderate array of weapons from N&Z's arsenal and featuring some FAE weapons, the AT-AW is quite versatile. The cheek-mounted N&Z laser cannons give it the ability to fight off encroaching infantry and light vehicles; the N&Z rotary blaster cannon also follows the same doctrine. The FAE beam cannons allow the unit to adjust its fire mode with the switch of a button and allow it to deal with infantry, light vehicles, and medium vehicles.

The sensor and equipment suit it has is nothing short of advanced. And thanks to the unified engagement network, all walkers in the same unit same targeting data and see what everyone sees, allowing for unparalelled battlefield awareness. The communications matrix also gives this walker an edge over the competition, by allowing for heavily encrypted messages to be sent and even interception communications, adding to its battlefield awareness.

This walker may be small and fast, but its technological suite makes it a force to reckoned with, and makes it the perfect first addition to N&Z's walker roster.
