SPHA-T SELF-PROPELLED HEAVY ARTILLERY TURBOLASER DATA FILE TYPE: Heavy artillery MANUFACTURER: Rothana Heavy Engineering SPEED: 35 kph (22 mph) MODEL: Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser LENGTH: 140.2 m (459 ft 11 in) WEAPONS: Heavy turbolaser Turbolaser barrel Elevating mechanism Infantry platform Viewport FATAL FLAW The SPHA-T has a limited tracking mechanism due to the fixed nature of the main gun. It is eventually replaced with the much smaller and faster SPMA. BEARING ONE OF THE bigger ground guns used by the Republic Army, this 12-legged walker is a slow but steady feature throughout the Clone Wars. Its turbolaser can destroy a starship, but can only operate for a limited time. This is because each blast uses up a vast amount of energy. SPHA-Ts are usually deployed in groups, co-ordinating their fire for maximum destructive effect. Turbolaser focus lens

Articulated low legs Team Turbo It takes a crew of 30 clone troopers to operate a SPHA-T. The gunners do not fire when the vehicle is in motion. Instead they rely on pilots to position the legs correctly before taking aim.
