2-M Saber-class repulsor tank
The 2-M Saber-class repulsor tank, alternatively known as the 2-M Hover Tank, represented a specific type of repulsorlift tank deployed by the forces of the Galactic Empire. This vehicle, armed with potent laser cannons, proved highly effective when engaging heavily defended positions; however, its limited speed made it susceptible to attacks from rocket emplacements. The presence of a shield generator provided the Saber-class with unusually strong protection against energy weapons for a ground vehicle. A scout version of the Saber-class repulsortank was also developed, known as the Scout-class 2-M repulsor tank.
Its deployment in combat occurred on the world of Tatooine in the period immediately following the Battle of Yavin.
Behind the scenes
The 2-M Hover Tank was first introduced to audiences in the video game titled Star Wars: Empire at War. Subsequently, it was re-established within canon through its inclusion in the mobile game Star Wars: Commander.
