History

Being one of the oldest shipbuilding corporations in the entire galaxy, Kuat's history spans thousands of years. What is less known and appreciated, is the fact that KDY was also responsible for quite a lot of ground vehicles as well, some of which are no less monstrous than their dreadnoughts. However, in the peace-time Republic it was hard to find buyers for such vehicles, and Juggernaut A5 and A6 remained in catalogues for decades, with only a few sporadic orders here and there from local governments... until the war were declared. Grand Army of the Republic immediately initiated push to buy up as many available tanks and IFVs as possible, and Kuat's somewhat dated offering became quite relevant. Having participated in both Battles of Felucia, Campaign on Mimban and Defense of Kashyyyk, these beasts wrecked havoc upon any B1, B2 and frankly anything up to the size of MTT. However, numerous mechanical breakages and lack of spare parts forced many Jedi and Clones to abandon their Juggernauts.

After the Republic underwent Democracy Replace Therapy, Juggernauts continued to serve the 6-spoke bendu, however, in increasingly odd roles... Empire was often sighted to use these wheeled tanks to transport countless slaves on the worlds of Outer Rim, many of which will end up constructing the First Death Star. That said, it seems that warranty support became even more of a problem, as many Imperial Juggernauts sat around for years waiting for replacements clutches, brakes and wheels. Rebels were rumored to have a couple of A5s and A6s, but those were usually retrofitted beyond recognition.

Pros: actual all-terrain capability (looking at you, AT-TE), monstrous cargo capacity, tremendous customizing ability.
Cons: no armor, no adequate weaponry, ridiculous size, has to be transported by a literal cruiser.

Additional Notes

• Programmable blocks are turned off by default to improve performance. If you still desire to use them - access the terminal and toggle the group "Programmable Blocks" on.
  
• Because of subgrids, this vehicle can be controlled only via Remote Controls. And don't forget to disengage parking before trying to drive...
  
• Both front turrets and side launchers have automatic safeties - if sensor sees their covers closed, then weapons become disengaged. I would not recommend removing this safety, but if you want - just find 3 Sensors in the terminal.
  
• Using this as a direct combat vehicle is not the brightest idea. So I'd recommend sticking to logistics and refueling.
  
• Speaking of refueling, the upmost connector is designed to be engaged by fighters and gunships to refuel from enormous Hydrogen Tanks on this thing.
  
• Docking this thing is a challenge, mainly because you can't get it low enough to the ground to connect to anything. That's why Acclamator will feature specialized hardware to allow up to 2 Juggernauts on board.
  
• Subgrids. Subgrids are everywhere. So take caution, if your soul gets cursed by a spirit of Marek - clang will come for you.
  
• I tried my best to do the interior, and to be completely honest - I consider it a failure. I don't like spacious small grid interiors, and I have no good experience making them. So feel free to customize the living Jesus out of it - there's more than enough room for anything you'd want.

Yes, next one is going to be the Windows 98 cursor. In fact, most of the screenshots have already been done, which is pretty untypical for me.
