- Advanced Systems: Designed with several notable systems installed on the shipsto improve their capabilities and turn the jedi into a needed operational fighter.
- Laminanium: Designed like a Quellian ship the hull of the orbital platforms has a thin layer of the material to improve repairs and over time depending on the amount of damage it is able to patch itself up.
- Sleg: A powerful energy enhancer, the sleg absorbs and channels the excessive heat generated by the chassis of the speeder. Making them maintain a stronger level of power but also increases the chances that they could explode from the heat.
- Built in power source: Designed with its own internal power source that is long lasting but it is largely able to power the armor and systems of the vehicle but when damaged it is highly explosive.
- Gravity: The advanced thrusters of the vehicle require gravity to function at full efficiency. Without it there can't counter gravity to get speed or thrust for the high speed movement.
- Self Repairing: Built with a protective layer to patch the vehicle in the event of damage. The time table is dependent upon the amount of damage with smaller tears being easier and faster to repair then gashes which can take hours to reform.
- Note: Only the layer can repair not the full plate armor itself the plating can be damaged still but the underlayer of Laminanium can reform and remain.
Designed by Saotome to be a heavier version of the striker that they designed and offer a secondary choice. A larger tank that is able to hover over the terrain giving it more places to go in and be placed to smash into stationary locations. The large platforms themselves are fairly basic compared to other hover tanks that have been developed and designed for more specialized version that might be made in the future. Self propelled artillery platforms designed with mass drivers or some fo the more beastly turbolaser variants the old republic had created and used. While they might be the ultimate goal it is best to always have a base model and idea where it is you want to start. Saotome's general design to have their vehicles and ships be base models and highly modular in the future to create the more advanced or special designs.
In the years of its use the tank itself has been redesigned and set up to become a superior vehicle for use in ground operations. Getting a model exclusive to jedi teams who need to go in loud and or protect in histile territory where their massive ground base can't be used. The base model though is a fairly large and impressive piece of equipment ith weapons galore and the capability to act as ground support but also mobile artillery or even emplacement support with anti fighter weapons. Sasori's engineers have gone a long way towards beefing up the defenses and the ability for minimal crews to use the tank without incident.
