Droid Conveyor

A type of heavy-duty six legged mecha used by the Bacterian Empire as an armored troop transport and multipurpose assault vehicle, Droid Conveyors were in use before and during the Peace Station Era.

The Droid Conveyor was capable of tasks ranging from the transportation of platoons of clone troopers around a battlefield to full-scale attacks upon enemy installations. The vehicle performed most admirably in support roles that involved providing immediate cover fire for battalions of soldiers. Droid Conveyors were often deployed in large numbers to overwhelm the enemy through sheer volume of fire.

Effective in numerous terrains and environments, some models of the walker were even capable of scaling vertical cliffs. The vehicle contained enough fuel to stride at full speed for over 500 kilometers and possessed enough scrubbed air and military rations to last its crew for three weeks out in the harsh conditions of the battlefield. The vehicles were also capable of independent operation with a rudimentary on-board AI.

Regardless of its heavy armor, the high silhouette made it easier to target by enemies. An individual droid conveyor could stand from anywhere from 20 to 30 meters tall.

Weaponry

The largest weapon was the enormous mass-driver cannon. This cannon could be loaded with an array of heavy energy weapons and solid shells, depending on the specifications of the mission. The payloads of the gun could range from burrowing bunker busters to heat-seeking missiles to sonic charges. However, it had a comparatively slow rate of fire and variable accuracy.

Six smaller forceguns were strategically placed along the vehicle. Two were located under the primary mass cannon, while four more were placed in the rear to cover the flanks and help secure drop off points for the platoons contained within.

Classes

There were several types of Droid Conveyors in use. The largest was the Dominator class, towering at 30 meters.
