The 520 Battle Platform was a heavily armored personnel carrier that was originally designed by Aratech. The 520 was equipped with four powerful laser cannons on the sides and strong shield generators. Two turbolasers located on the front and back were capable of penetrating heavily armored vehicles, such as the AT-AT walkers used by the Galactic Empire. Four anti-infantry laser cannons protected the battle platform against infantry-based attacks; however, it had no anti-air defenses.
Although unclear how, Bel Iblis acquired the only prototype of the 520 Battle Platform from Aratech's research facilities, halting plans for its large-scale production. His vehicle, which he gave the designation Gargantuan, was used during the Galactic Civil War to aid the Rebel Alliance.
