This model was armed with three-turreted laser cannons and could hold its own against enemy infantry and armor. It was succeeded by the Heavy Champion. The vehicle also could carry one extra royal trooper.
The Champions were used to defend Parrlay, New Centrif and Vis cities from OOM-9's invading forces. The Champions also saw action during the capture of Harte Secur alongside Heavy Champions (the Champions' successors) to protect the Harte Secur's command center when OOM-9 invaded the city. Also, several Champions were used during the Invasion of Spinnaker.
The Champion was a mech destroyer in the game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.
