The Imperial Tie Crawler

The Century Tank has been named TIE-Crawler by its pilots due to the similar shape with a TIE-Fighter. The cockpit is almost identical to the TIE Standard which makes it easy for Navy pilots to use this tank whenever necessary. It has been a useful weapon during the recapturing of Coruscant. The advantages of this model are numerous. First of all it is very easy to operate even by soldiers who have never done that before. Secondly the modular structure makes it easy to repair and helps to lower maintenance costs. Last but not least the Crawler can operate within territory that is inaccessible by repulsorlift vehicles. On the negative side you can mention the low speed of only 90 km/h, the miserable shielding which is almost nonexistent to Turbolasers. A direct hit will completely destroy the Crawler.

The Crawler alone is an inferior weapon but just like the TIE Standard it becomes quite powerful just by its large numbers. Due to the lack of public appearance we can only show this drawing by Santhe.
