The LAAT/uni Gunship, or New Republic Gunship, was a modernized version of the old Republic Gunships used in the original Clone Wars. The LAAT/uni was able to perform the functions of a standard Low Altitude Assault Transport and a Carrier Gunship. In that way, the gunship could drop off vehicles, such as the AT-TE II models that were abolished after the original Clone Wars because separate Carrier Gunships had to be built.
