The Floating Fortress was a heavily armored repulsorcraft-equipped transport that bore a heavy resemblance to the K79-S80 Imperial Troop Transport. Every surface of the HAVr 9 was equipped with nigh-impenetrable armor, and it had a short-range dorsal-mounted laser turret with two barrels that could aim and fire independently. The Floating Fortress' chassis was itself a weapon, being able to plow through most obstacles. The vehicle was also equipped with an advanced medium-range sensor array and its repulsorlift had a maximum altitude of 20 meters.
