All Terrain Scout Transport Mark X

All Terrain Scout Transport Mark X"You think there are more classes below this one, well you're right and wrong at the same time. The Mark IV, and Security Transport exist under it but there are no Mark V, VI or anything like that. The Mark X skipped all those and went straight to ten!"

The All Terrain Scout Transport Mark X, simply as AT-ST Mark X, and sometimes as Mark Ten transport or Heavy Assault AT-ST, was a Reengineered All Terrain series walker manufactured by Tachibana Heavy Engineering for use by personnel of the Eclipse Army, such as gunners and pilots.

The Mark X was the successor to the Mark IV in that it had an improved design to prevent it from being easily trapped over as seen during the Battle of Endor. During its design stages, it was given two missile launchers on top of its head with both having five tubes for its concussion missiles as well as being fitted with one 115-J heavy turbolaser for handling infantry and light vehicles, one BN ion cannon for disabling shielding found on ground vehicles such as tanks and walkers as well as one shield generator strong enough to deflect most laser cannons, several turbolasers and ion torpedoes and cannons.

The walker is used extensively by the Eclipse Army for patrol, reconnaissance missions, heavy ground support walker and as armour. However, it was rumoured that some of these walkers were used by Tachibana Security.
