LAAT OVERVIEW 

 (Arc Troopers with a LAAT)
 (Arc Troopers with a LAAT)
Nicknamed "Larties" by various Clone Commandos, the LAAT's were designed to rip up the battlefield and bring havoc. The Kaminoan's came up with this vehicle to fight the C.I.S. and it took years to create. Rothana Heavy Engineering built quite a large amount of these for the Clone's. Mostly, these gunships were used to drop off around 25 Troopers into the atmosphere and be gone before the blasters started to be fired. Some of the specs for the LAAT is a 17 meter long wingspan and it had a four man crew with at the most 30 passengers. The two primary guns is two mass-driven missle launchers atop the craft, and the amount they carried depended on what mission was going on.
