IV-177 Rapid Assault Tank (RAT)

The IV-177 Rapid Assault Tank (RAT) is the earliest vehicle in the Imerys Vehicle (IV) line. Designed and manufactured by the Imerys Vehicle Drives, the Rapid Assault Tank was a cheap and more advanced alternative to the old T2-B Repulsor Tank. The Rapid Assault Tank earned the nickname 'rat' due to its abbreviated name, small size and dual blaster cannons.
