				| 
 |  
				| I'm looking to run Pirates of Prexiar for a family-friendly podcast and the request is that we don't treat people as canon fodder.  Fair enough. I'll just make the pirates into a crew of salvagers that found an old CIS derelict, got their hands on military hardware and droids, and decided to give piracy a try. Now the base is full of battle droids instead of human guards. Problem solved. 
 Except... I'm not quite sure what the functional military equivalent of the AT-PT would have been for the Federation. I could say a huge crab droid and fudge the stats, but if there's anyone listening who would know the difference, I'd rather make it as authentic an equivalent as possible. Any ideas?

				| That will likely do nicely.  Thank you much! _________________

				| We'll be recording in early January, so I'm guessing it will be released in February maybe. I'll make sure to make an announcement here when it's out.  The host is a really great guy and I've enjoyed working with him before. _________________
