Capsule: The Low Altitude Assault Transport (LAAT) was a specialized gunship used by the Grand Army of the Republic. The LAAT was affectionately known as the “larty” by the clone troopers. The LAATs first appeared at the Battle of Geonosis, where they rescued the surviving Jedi from the execution arena, disabled and destroyed many of the fleeing Separatist capital ships and destroyed many of the Hailfire droids on the battlefield. The gunships mounted numerous weapons emplacements, including three blasters, two single and two twin composite-beam lasers, eight anti-aircraft rockets, and two mass drivers for launching larger missile weapons. They were equipped with atmospheric containment shielding and could be deployed from space, but their optimal fighting range was still in the lower atmosphere.
