The Rapid Recon Walker represents a bipedal fighting walker deployed during the Galactic War. This conflict pitted the Galactic Republic against the reconstituted Sith Empire, and it also saw action later in the revolt against the Eternal Empire led by what would become the Eternal Alliance. Its armament included a laser cannon situated on the chin, complemented by a pair of dual laser cannons positioned on both flanks of the driver's area.
This walker was frequently utilized for patrol and reconnaissance missions, but it also functioned as a primary combat unit against infantry.
Numerous units underwent modifications to enhance their weaponry and armor, thereby augmenting their survivability and combat effectiveness.
The Rapid Recon Walker became obtainable on December 2, 2016, functioning as a pre-purchase incentive for the Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion. Gamers maintaining a premium subscription to Star Wars: The Old Republic as of November 27, 2016, were granted the Rapid Recon Walker as an in-game mount.
