Nicknamed the "Trident" for its three forward weapons, this light transport was developed by KDY and Mekuun following a disastrous incident in the Mirgoshir campaign of the Clone Wars. The constant pounding created by thundering footfalls of Republic walkers caused the natural bridges they were traversing on Agamar to collapse, resulting in a catastrophic loss of personnel and armor.
这种轻型车因三门前伸的炮管而被昵称为“三叉戟”。它由夸特动力船坞和梅昆公司联合研制。在克隆人战争米尔戈希尔战役中发生的一起悲惨事故促成了它的诞生。共和国步行机在通过阿加马上一座天然桥时，沉重的脚步不断撞击桥面，导致桥梁坍塌，造成年人员和装甲部队损失惨重。

Thus, it was deemed an armored transport was needed that could cover such terrain without accelerating the effects of a potential collapse. In an uncharacteristic move, KDY opened up their development process to Mekuun, a corporation known for developing heavy repulsorlift vehicles. The coupling of both specialties resulted in the UT-AT, a combat transport that could no longer be called a walker due to its unique design.
所以，人们相信需要一种装甲车，在通过这类地形时不会加速潜在的坍塌效应。夸特动力船坞一反常态，向梅昆公司开放自己的研发流程。梅昆公司以研发重型反重力交通工具而闻名。两家企业优势互补的结果就是UT-AT——一种由于其独特设计而不能再被称为步行机的战车。

The heavy armored vehicle is supported by eight pairs of low-power repulsorlift skis along the rear section that constantly readjust to encountered terrain, propelled by four repulsorlift plates mounted under the forward carriage. The undulating set of 16 skid plates evenly negate the weight of the vehicle. The specially designed skids could also reverse the repulsion to form gription fields, allowing it to cling to sheer surfaces or giving the UT-AT unparalleled stability during long-range fire.
这种重装甲交通工具由安装在前车厢下方的四块反重力板驱动，支撑车体的八对低功率反重力滑板被并排安装在后部，它们能根据行驶的路面不断进行自我调节。16块能独立起伏的滑板均匀抵消了炮车的重量。特别设计的滑板还能反转反重力，以便形成附着摩擦场，使它吸附在陡峭的表面，或在远程开火时，给予UT-AT无与伦比的稳定性。



The skis also provide additional advantages on snowy or powdered terrain, particularly during horizontal strafing maneuvers. The UT-AT lacks maneuverability, however -- though the weight of the craft is cancelled out by the powerful repulsorfield, the vehicle still handles with significant inertial mass. As such, careful operators limit its top speed to 45 kilometers per hour.
在积雪或粉尘地形上，尤其在水平扫射时，这些滑板更能提供额外的优势。然而，UT-AT缺乏机动性——虽然车体重量被强大的反重力场抵消，但车体还是要应付巨大的惯性质量。因此，谨慎的操作员会把车速控制在每小时45公里以下。

The bulk of the UT-AT's internal machinery is located in the front half of the craft which also has room for up to 20 clone troopers. The cockpit holds seats a driver and one gunner (who controls the side and dorsal-mounted heavy laser cannons).
UT-AT主要的内部机械位于车体前半部分，那里还可容纳最多20名克隆人士兵。驾驶舱有一名驾驶员和一名炮手（他控制侧炮和车顶的重型激光炮）的座位。

The rear half, by comparison, is empty to allow for artillery transport. It contains the gunner stations for the four laser cannons mounted overhead, and the armor plating protecting them. Some variants bolstered the craft's standard armament with bomblet generators capable of launching a storm of electrostatic and ion-charged chaos on droid armies. Other models forwent the artillery storage space and instead carried an articulated bridgelayer assembly. Clone combat engineers would blaze a stable trail over unsteady terrain and construct a makeshift bridge that would accommodate the heavier walkers further down the battle line.
相比之下，后半部分很空，可用于火炮运输。那里的炮手位置负责控制头顶的四门激光炮，并有装甲面板的保护。有些型号的炮车在标准武器装备上还安装了小型炸弹发射器，能在机器人军队中造成一片静电和带电离子混乱。有些型号则放弃了火炮装备的空间，转而携带一套折叠桥铺设器。克隆人工兵可以在不稳定地形上开辟一条稳定的小路，架设一座临时桥以供较重的步行机继续开赴前线。

Although the UT-AT proved more effective than its armored cousins in icy or shifting battlegrounds, it suffered heavy losses in the Clone Wars due to its slow speed. Because of its raised deck, a well-placed hit underneath the vehicle could send it into a somersault. UT-ATs saw heavy use during the final stages of the Clone Wars, where they were used upon bridges during such campaigns as Mygeeto and Cato Neimoidia.
UT-AT虽然被证明在冰面或打滑的战场上比同类装甲更有效，但在克隆人战争中，因车速不高而遭受了严重的损失。由于车身上凸，因此在车下的准确一击就能把它掀翻。UT-AT在克隆人战争的最后阶段被大量使用。在麦基托和卡托内莫伊迪亚等战役中，它们被应用于桥梁。
