Ground-based combat was a crucial element in numerous Clone Wars engagements, even though many battles occurred in outer space. Similar to the situation with starships, the technological advancements and destructive potential of numerous vehicles steadily increased as the war progressed. While the Republic manufactured tanks, transports, and bipedal vehicles that foreshadowed the later Imperial walkers, the Confederacy of Independent Systems remained competitive, consistently introducing innovative war machines, typically operated by droids. The ability to transport troops rapidly and efficiently to the combat zone often proved as significant, or even more so, than the sheer firepower of the vehicles themselves. Both factions meticulously assessed every aspect influencing their chances of success.
