The MTV-7 light vehicle served as a wheeled tank and scouting platform for the Galactic Empire's ground forces.
This scouting vehicle, the MTV-7, was known for its exceptional mobility. This was achieved with two large wheels positioned under the pilot's single seat. Despite being fast, adaptable to a variety of terrains, and more stable than All Terrain Armored Transports, it was not as well-defended as those walkers, being armed with just a single blaster cannon. It featured light armor that could withstand minor laser fire.
The MTV-7 light vehicle's first canonical appearance occurred in Star Wars: Commander. This mobile strategy game was developed by Disney Interactive and launched on August 21, 2014 for iOS devices. The Kenner toy company originally conceived the MTV-7 in 1982 as part of their second series of Mini-Rigs vehicles.
During the Battle of Hoth in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, the Galactic Empire deployed several MTV-7 light vehicles. However, these vehicles were automated and lacked crews.
