"I've seen that thing take out entire
companies of soldiers in a matter of minutes."
― Cara Dune
THE WALKING TERROR, a name aptly given by Klatooinian raiders to their captured Imperial All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST).

This raging beast is shielded with reinforced armor plates, making it impervious to the low-tech weaponry of the planet Sorgan’s isolated tribes. Twin blaster cannons on the chin spit death and savagery at helpless foes below. During raids on villages, a couple of loud warning shots are enough to break the spirit of resistance. Mighty footpads with crushing blades crash through walls and barricades, granting passage to the clan’s warriors for unpunished pillaging and mayhem.

Sacred Spotchka
One of the main targets of the Klatooinian’s raids on Sorgan is blue krill. They use blue krill to brew spotchka, a luminous, alcoholic drink. The raiders then ship it to Hutt-controlled markets. 

Also, the clan’s shaman also uses spotchka in religious rituals. The sanctified spotchka symbolizes the drops of the Fountain of Ancients, the holy cultural object for Klatooinian people. The drink invigorates the body with strength and inspires feelings of invulnerability.
Various stuffed species are used as talismans and amulets, believed to improve agility, speed, durability and accuracy of the AT-ST.
Abandoned by the Empire
Rumors of Palpatine's death caused a panic in the Imperial army. Command staff began to desert Outer Rim outposts. Often they left military vehicles and even troops abandoned on hostile backwaters. Forsaken outposts quickly became the prey of local raiders, tribes, and pirates eager to plunder Imperial treasures. The Klatooinians AT-ST is one such prize.
This illustration and descriptions are totally my fanmade project called THE OUTER RIM: LEGENDARY CROSS-SECTIONS. Inspired by the amazing work of the Mandalorian TV-series team. This means that this is 50% Legend. But who knows, maybe someday, it’ll become Canon.
To date, the series has four illustrations:
Imperial Troop Transport, Nevarro Cantina, AT-ST Raider and Razor Crest.


Really hope you like what is done!
