L-96 Repulsor Gunboat

The L-96 Repulsor Gunboat was a large tank designed by Radar Spectros to be used by the 1337 N00B5. Created from parts salvaged from Raxis Prime, the L-96 was manufactured exclusively by factories built and maintained by the 1337 N00B5.

The Repulsor Gunboat had a rectangular "stair" frame, with three large turrets mounted on top of the main hull. These were capable of dealing large amounts of damage, and were especially useful in destroying ground bases, outposts, and turret defenses. The heavy laser cannons had a very long range, nearly that of an AT-AT. Because of its firepower and heavy armor, the gunboat was very slow and required a high-output power generator to keep the craft above the ground on its repulsors. The reactor needed for this was very volatile, and created a large explosion if destroyed. When this weakness was discovered, the 1337 N00B5 took advantage of it by using it in kamikaze missions.

The L-96 was most effective in missions where an enemy shield generator prevented bombardment and starfighter entry. As it was a ground vehicle, it could sneak under the shield, approach the generator, and destroy it quickly. The L-96 was durable enough to resist lasers from fighters, but small tanks, notably the TX-130 and the Ground Armored Tank, could use their large silos of concussion missiles to pierce its heavy armor.

It was first used on Tatooine, where it destroyed a shield generator protecting a number of Black Sun outposts. It would later be used in various battles, specifically used for land assaults on ground bases and shield generators.
