AT-AT pilot


AT-AT pilots, also known as AT-AT Drivers, were Imperial combat drivers specialized in operating the Imperial Army's AT-AT walkers. Working in groups of two, they operated the walker's driving and firing controls, and were, in certain cases, overseen by a commander who also occupied the walker's cockpit.

Training


Pulling the strongest Imperial soldiers to become the next generation of AT-AT pilots, many considered themselves all-powerful. Almost all pilots were humans averaging 1.83 meters (6ft) in height.

AT-AT pilots wore specialized insulated suits on frozen planets such as Hoth. These suits were designed to protect their wearer if their AT-AT's pressurized cockpit was compromised, along with the AT-AT's lack of climate control. Pilots wore an all-white insulated jumpsuit along with white boots and driving gauntlets. Along with sporting a reinforced helmet and life-support pack on their chest, pilots also had a standard blaster pistol, thermal detonators, and grenades for potential ground-based encounters. Other weaponry at the disposal of AT-AT drivers was the E-11 medium blaster rifle and a larger blaster rifle model.
