Heavy repulsortank

"But you know what I always say: Speak softly and drive a big tank."

―Hondo Ohnaka, on the WLO-5 speeder tank^[1]

A heavy repulsortank was a classification of repulsortank used by the Imperial Army. Equipped with the toughest armor and most powerful weapons available, heavy repulsortanks were generally considered to be a squad-level unit for deployment purposes. Their firepower rivalled that of stationary artillery pieces, and they could take an enormous amount of punishment from other heavy assault vehicles.^[2]

The Imperial Army employed several variants of heavy repulsortanks, including the Gorm•Talquist S-1 FireHawke Heavy Repulsortank,^[3] the Ubrikkian Industries Imperial Repulsortank 1-H,^[2] and a model employed on Edan II.^[4] Equipped with the same Taim & Bak MS-1 fire-linked heavy laser cannon as the later Imperial All Terrain Armored Transport, the Ubrikkian Ord Pedrovia WLO-5 speeder tank was also classified as a heavy repulsortank.^[5]
