Imperial troopers in an TX-225A Occupier tank It was also equipped with a Rothana Heavy Engineering–manufactured ADGT-1500 engine that boasted a maximum speed of 72 kilometers per hour on the road and 45 kilometers per hour off the road, as well as close-range sensors. A matrix of quadanium-enriched titanium interspersed with ceramic plates and phase bonded onto and elastic lattice gave the armor remarkable resilience and toughness without overtaxing the vehicles propulsion system with excess weight.

It had composite armor that balanced weight with durability. The composite armor was used because air friction would undercut shield generators. In addition to its armament, the GAVw had a depleted duranium composite armor. They were heavily armed for vehicles of similar class, equipped with three Dymek manufactured twin MK 2e/w medium laser cannons, two elevating and one forward-locked, a pair of light blaster cannons mounted forward in the reinforced bow, and a light repeating blaster that could be mounted on a pintle near the main access hatch for anti-infantry and light anti-vehicle use in tight quarters. As a result of their tracks and responsive drivetrain, the Occupier was capable of stopping, turning, and maneuvering in incredibly tight quarters. They had an armored, wedge-shaped forward crew compartment that held the three-person crew-a vehicle commander, a driver and a gunner-in cramped conditions. Small and simple, the Occupier was 7.30 meters long and 1.82 meters tall, and was roughly the same size of a heavy speeder truck. the Ī profile view of an Imperial combat assault tank loaded with cargo While the GAVw possessed treads, another variant of the TX-225 was repulsorlift-equipped TX-225 GAVr 'Occupier' combat assault tank. Remarkably versatile, Occupiers were capable of fighting, providing support fire, and carrying troops and cargo with equal ease. The tank was typically deployed in occupied cities and within Imperial military facilities rather than on the front lines, and were a common sight in urban centers with high amounts of unrest. Part of the TX-225 Occupier line, the GAVw was a rugged vehicle that could be found in mechanized infantry divisions and the Galactic Empire's Stormtrooper Corps, where the GAVw filled a much-needed support and patrol role in the Empire's Order of Battle. Rothana Heavy Engineering's TX-225 GAVw assault tank was the Imperial Army's premier light urban combat vehicle.
