An armored groundcar represented a type of groundcar that underwent modification or construction incorporating substantial armor plating, primarily for troop transportation and patrolling in military contexts. Despite being an economical option, its effectiveness was limited because the agility of wheeled vehicles paled in comparison to repulsorlift-equipped vehicles. Notably, the Balawai militia operating out of Pelek Baw employed armored groundcars on the planet Haruun Kal.
