Repulsor Scouts are used as recon vehicles by the Imperial Army, often in difficult and hazardous terrain. They are armed with a heavy repeating blaster located on the back of the vehicle, which can be accessed via a roof hatch. The gunner stands behind the cannon on top of the vehicle, surrounded by railing. Repulsor scouts have been used since before the Battle of Yavin, often accompanying Radtroopers in toxic environments.
