AT-ST

SWG Information
The feared "metal chicken" used by the Imperial forces to control ground areas. In SWG it can be a factional pet for Imperial players, and it can also be an NPC spawn. Players are not allowed to enter them (they are not considered vehicles), but they have massive firepower, high hitpoints, and heavy armor with high resists to all stats but blast.

To receive an AT-ST as a factional pet requires thousands of faction points. Each player is restricted to one, and as for all faction pets, it can only be called while the player is overt. The AT-ST can come in very handy in battle, but is an easy target for all enemy forces to attack. Thus the huge expense in faction points can easily turn into just a short distraction in the action

Star Wars Background
The AT-ST was a the feature vehicle in the final battle on Endor in Return of the Jedi. Two Imperials controlled the vehicle from the inside. Normal blasters had no effect on the AT-ST, but the vehicle's blasters easily blew away trees and mowed down enemy combatants. Logs were able to smash them, however, and when their stability is reduced, their weight can easily bring them down.
