History[]
The Super tank was a repulsorcraft designed by Baktoid Armor Workshop. It was utilized during the Clone Wars in 21 BBY.
Poggle the Lesser and TX-21 used the Super tank to defend their weapons factory on Geonosis. The Grand Army of the Republic landed on the planet and engaged in what became known as the Second Battle of Geonosis.
While Anakin Skywalker and Luminara Unduli created a diversion on the bridge leading up to the factory, Padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee infiltrated the weapons factory from an underground series of catacombs.
Ahoska and Barriss faced off against the Super tank protoype in the control room of the Geonosian droid factory. The Padawans avoided the tank's weaponry, then got inside the tank, dispatching the B1 battle droids piloting it. They used the vehicle's weapons to destroy the facility's power core. Fortunately for them, the super tank's highly durable outer shell protected them from the explosion. Anakan and Luminara extradited them from the fallen debris.
