History

The quintessential troop transport of the galaxy far far away, LAAT served in just about every era. Starting it's career with Clone Army for the Republic, these transports deserved the reputation of reliable and armed-to-teeth angels of doom, that would deliver reinforcements and evacuate injured. Serving throughout the entire war, they continued into the new Imperial era, mostly patrolling controlled planets, instead of actually jumping into the fire of battle. Rebel Alliance to Restore the Republic also got their hands on a number of these gunships, and used them to varying degrees of success. Even after the defeat of Palpatine over the Forest Moon of Endor, one could still stumble across both intact gunships, as well as their parts that were used to build custom spacecraft.

Pros: ensemble of weapons that can scare even a corvette captain, pressurized cockpit, spacious troop compartment, high customization potential.
Cons: a gigantic silhouette, relatively short range, a lot of subgrids, unpressurized troop compartment.

Variants Featured:

• Episode II - Ball Turret Variant
  
• TCW S3E20 - Plo's Bros Space Gunship
  
• The Clone Wars (2003) - Muunilinst 10

Additional Notes:

• Programmable blocks are turned off by default to improve performance. If you still desire to use them - access the terminal and toggle the group "Programmable Blocks" on.
  
• Note that all 3 variants are actually different - they have different internals, different loadouts and different features, which will impact characteristics of the vehicle.
  
• Each one of the 3 variants also has 2 sub-variants: one with player made cockpit and no seats; and one with classic SE cockpit and 6 seats in the troop compartment. Cockpit is pressurized for all 6 variants.
  
• Ball turrets were made static in order to compensate for the subgridded doors - otherwise this replica would have been a total mess.
  
• Entering Pilot and Co-Pilot seats was simplified in the recent update, but you still have to look for the gap in between the armor panels.
