Editing All Terrain Soup (section)

==All-Terrain-Walkers.==

Legged [[METAL BOXES|metal bawkses]].  No, not [[Dreadnought|those]].

Star Wars's [[Stormtrooper#Star_Wars|Imperial Military]], and the [[Solar_Auxilia|Grand Army]] it usurped, really liked their acronyms (much like their real world counterparts).  The most egeriogus examples being the assorted combat walkers, which all start with AT, an acronym for "All Terrain", which is supposedly one of the justifications for the legs in the first place. Note that the AAT  is not a part of the soup, being "Armored Assault Tank". Star Wars being Star Wars we know that most, if not all, of these walkers are produced by Kuat Drive Yards and their subsidiaries Rothana Heavy Engineering.

The pseudoscience reason for walkers in Star Wars is that shields apparently "float" over grounded surfaces, so things can walk through shields, but ungrounded things can't float or fly through shields.  Of course, if you can walk and stay grounded you can ROLL and stay grounded too...

But that's not why the empire uses them.  They use them because they're intimidating as fuck giant walking metal bawkses.
