The T3-B Heavy Attack Tank was used by the Rebel Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War and continues to see use after its reorganization into the New Republic. The vehicle is one of several designs that was acquired by the Alliance from a splinter group within Yutrane-Trackata. It is now being manufactured under the banner of the Republic Engineering Corporation.
The T3-B is a heavier complement to the T1-B Hovertank. It is considered too heavy to be used for operations other than surface-to-surface combat. The T3-B's ordinance consists of long-range proton missiles and heavy blaster cannons. Although it isn't strong enough to take on an AT-AT head-on, its proton missiles give it a longer range and it is more maneuverable. A skilled crew can stay out of an AT-AT's firing arc while the turret hammers the Imperial craft until it falls, giving the T3-B a fierce reputation.
