The Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry (LAAT/i) is a troop transport unit that consists of eight LAAT/i, along with eight pilots, twenty-four gunners, eight technicians, and four mechanics to operate and maintain them. Designed for aerial-based support and troop transport, it is heavily armored with drooping wings and sliding doors to protect its passengers, with a pair of anti-personnel laser turrets on the front and one covering the stern, along with two pinpoint laser turrets mounted on the wings and two composite beam laser turrets that deploy from the sides with their own gunners in its standard configuration. They can optionally be fitted as space gunships that can operate in the vacuum of space, removing the composite beam laser turrets and replacing them with flood lights. Operated by the pilots and gunners in the platoon, each can carry 30 passengers allowing the platoon to carry 240 soldiers or passengers. Used by the Republic during the Clone Wars, it remained in service to the Galactic Empire for years.
