Overview:
Colloquially known as a "chicken walker" because of its shape and walking motion, the AT-ST
was a light, heavily-armed, ground combat vehicle, and able to trek various environments.
The stock model was equipped with a chin-mounted, double blaster cannon, a light E-Web twin
blaster cannon on the port side, a concussion grenade launcher on the starboard side of its
head, two clawed feet, and was encased with 9095-T8511 grade durasteel.
The AT-ST was designed to be a recon, hit-and-run vehicle. It was lighter than its bigger
brother, the AT-AT, and could withstand standard blaster fire, but was vulnerable to heavy
laser fire and missiles, as well as physical attacks to the legs and the side of the head.
The latter weakness was witnessed during the Battle of Endor, when the Ewok tribal warriors
destroyed an AT-ST by using logs to ram the sides of the walker's head. The AT-ST could also
be infiltrated by species with great physical strength. At Endor, the Wookiee, Chewbacca,
forced his way through the top hatch and took control of the walker in this manner.
Capabilities:
The AT-ST's chin blasters had an effective range of two kilometers and were used for
anti-vehicle attacks, while the armor-shielded blaster cannon and grenade launcher provided
close-range protection against infantry and light emplacements. Like the AT-AT, the AT-ST
utilized a holographic targeting system, allowing a 360-degree view of its position. The
armor was not sufficient to withstand blasts from starship cannons, but was impervious to
small-arms fire. In addition, according to Leia Organa Solo, the area behind the angled
viewport visors was weak enough to be susceptible to missile fire, although Han Solo
wondered with surprise how she knew that.
The 8.6-meter-tall walkers were piloted by a crew of two Imperial Army pilots and carried
200 kilograms of cargo, which had to be loaded and unloaded via the single hatch located
atop the superstructure accessible using a series of handholds placed on the sides of the
walker. However, for practicality, the preferred method of entry inside military bases was
to use a loading platform.
The bipedal propulsion system was one of the primary weaknesses of the AT-ST. On even
terrain, the walker could achieve over 90 kilometers per hour, but on uneven or shifting
terrain, a walker could quickly become unbalanced enough to fall over. In rare cases, AT-STs
are even capable of leaping when in combat with an enemy. One leg weighted a quarter of a
metric ton.
An advanced gyro system, located beneath the command module, provided the balance needed,
but could be easily damaged. Following the Battle of Hoth, Rebel tacticians learned to
ambush and immobilize AT-ST's; once trapped, a well-placed rifle shot could destroy the
walker's gyro system.
Variants:
The AT-ST was a highly modular walker design, being able to switch weapons slots and
additional tools to fulfill a variety of roles on the battlefield.
Known modifications included a top-mounted, shielded gun turret for soldiers standing on
lookout, mortars bolted to the upper side of the turret, side-mounted six-slot rocket
launchers instead of laser cannons, and grenade launcher mounts on the walker's lower
cheeks.
Other modifications included communications antennae, using additional armor plates to cover
the battery packs and having a winch system underneath the chin gun. During the construction
of the Imperial base on Endor, several AT-STs had their chin guns replaced with metal clamps
and were used to tear down trees and make clearings for future construction.
