During the Imperial Era, the ships were used by both the Galactic Empire and Alliance to Restore the Republic. The LAAT/i gunship saw extensive use in numerous battles and campaigns of the Clone Wars. Its role was to transport Clone trooper as well as offering air-to-ground and air-to-air support for the Galactic Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry (LAAT/i), also known as the Low Altitude Assault Transport, Republic attack gunship, Republic Gunship or Assault Gunship, was one of the several models in the Low Altitude Assault Transport line of starships that mainly served as gunships and troop transports for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.
