Update 1/14/06: 1 more unit added
This is the thread where I'm posting fixes/changes to older Star Wars units, since some of the older units have flaws (size, palettes, centering, animations) and aren't quite up to par. All of these units are conversions from the game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.
AT-TE
Fixes:
*Re-sized the unit 40% smaller, it now fits into the tile.
*The attack animations are greatly improved. AttackA is just the heavy laser cannon firing for bombardment and AttackB has the anti-personnel lasers firing with the heavy laser cannon.
*Fixed palette
*Changed sounds
*2 sets of pedia icons and pedia text are included
Download AT-TE

AT-TE
Spoiler Pedia Entry :
Full Name: All Terrain Tactical Enforcer
Affiliation: The Galactic Republic
Manufacturer: Rothana Heavy Engineering
Type: Heavy Walker
Size: 17 Meters Long; 10 Meters Tall
Weapons: 1 Heavy Laser Projectile Cannon; 6 Anti-Personnel Laser Cannons
Description: An intimidating assault walker, the "All Terrain Tactical Enforcer" (AT-TE) made its debut in the Battle of Geonosis, at the start of the Clone Wars. Developed secretly by Rothana Heavy Engineering, the AT-TE uses 6 articulated legs for propulsion and a body consisted of 2 armored halves which gives the walker more flexibility and a beetle like appearance. Contained within it's thick hull, the AT-TE can carry up to 25 clone troopers and 1 ton of cargo
The AT-TE has a heavy laser projectile cannon mounted on top of the vehicle to dish out heavy firepower with a range of up to 3km. The walker is also complemented with 4 ball-turret laser cannons mounted on the front and 2 ball-turret laser cannons in the back to provide optimized protection from close range attackers.
Although the AT-TE proved to be a big success for the Old Republic during the Clone Wars, the walkers were eventually replaced by the more powerful and menacing AT-AT during the reign of the Empire.

SPHA-T
Spoiler Pedia Entry :
Full Name: Self Propelled Heavy Artillery - Turbolaser
Affiliation: The Galactic Republic
Manufacturer: Rothana Heavy Engineering
Type: Heavy Artillery
Size: 38 Meters Long; 20 Meters Tall
Weapons: 1 Heavy Turbolaser Cannon
Description: Developed by Rothana Heavy Engineering, the "Self Propelled Heavy Artillery - Turbolaser" (SPHA-T) was introduced at the onset of the Clone Wars as a heavy artillery vehicle to compliment the walkers of the Republic Army. In the Battle of Geonosis, SPHA-Ts were used to take down the Trade Federation core ships that attempted to escape the planet.
The 12 tiny legs of the SPHA-T allows the vehicle to reposition itself and provides great stabilty when firing. The vehicle's main cannon is modular, allowing different artillery pieces to be fitted with different weapon types such as turbolaser cannons, ion cannons, and concussion missile launchers. The most powerful and effective of these designs are the turbolaser cannons which use prolonged blast streams that require large amounts of power and a large on-board reactor core to operate.
After the Battle of Geonosis, the SPHA-T was never put into wide use as it could only be used for select targets and its slow speed often left it vulnerable on the battlefield. The SPHA-T's large size also took up lots of space which kept it off many starships.

Republic Bulk Transport
Spoiler Pedia Entry :
Full Name: AA-9 Bulk Transport
Affiliation: The Galactic Republic
Manufacturer: Corellian Engineering Corporation
Type: Transport/Freighter
Length: 140 Meters
Weapons: None
Description: Manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation the AA-9 Bulk Transport was originally used as a cargo freighter prior to the Clone Wars. As tensions grew and entire sectors began seceding, Loyalists to the Republic became refugees from the Separatist crisis. The Refugee Relief Movement was started and AA-9 Bulk Transports were refitted to carry refugees to new worlds.
Once the Clone Wars began some of these ships were refitted to carry clone troopers, military vehicles, and supplies into battle. With no weaponry these transports were often vulnerable when under attack.

Full Name: IG-227 Hailfire Droid
Affiliation: Confederacy of Independent Systems
Manufacturer: InterGalactic Banking Clan
Type: Mobile Missile Platform
Size: 6.4 Meters
Weapons: Dual Missile Launchers - 30 Missiles
Description: The IG-227 Hailfire Droid is a cross between a battle droid and a light tank designed and used by the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and later the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Hailfire Droids are built to deliver Surface to Air, and Surface to Surface attacks with their racks of 30 missiles. The droid's main hull consists of a small body suspended between 2 oversized hoop-wheels driven by a series of magpulse drives along their circumference to provide exceptional mobility. This combination of speed and lethality made the Hailfire a staple unit of the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars.

Homing Spider Droid
Spoiler Pedia Entry :
Full Name: OG-9 Homing Spider Droid
Affiliation: Confederacy of Independent Systems
Manufacturer: Commerce Guild
Type: Droid Walker
Size: 4.8 Meters Tall
Weapons: 1 Heavy Laser Beam Cannon; 1 Light Laser Cannon
Description: A large, mobile engine of destruction employed in the Commerce Guild's private droid army and later used in the Separatist droid armies, the OG-9 Homing Spider Droid is specifically geared for anti-vehicular combat. Although light compared to other walkers, they were cheap to build and proved lethal in large numbers by simply overwhelming their opponents.
The orb-shaped central body is equipped with an advanced array of sensors, and a destructive dish-shaped laser cannon capable of firing a sustained beam at opponents. The droid moves by using 4 all-terrain stilt like legs which can achieve impressive speeds of mobility for a walker. These legs also give the Homing Spider Droid an elevated height which allows it to strike over a large area of the battlefield.

Dark Trooper
Spoiler Pedia Entry :
Description: A veteran of the Clone Wars, Rom Mohc saw firsthand both the limitations and the advantages of battle droid infantry. When he rose to power as a general in the Imperial military, he masterminded the Dark Trooper Project, which would result in an advanced battle droid meant to serve as a "super stormtrooper."
The Dark Troopers were developed in 3 different phases, each phase stronger than the last. The Dark Trooper is a towering humanoid that has broad shoulders with metallic silver armor reminiscent of stormtrooper uniforms. Dark Troopers are programmed with a relentless drive to kill. They are typically armed with a plasma cannon and long-range explosive rockets. Phase Two Dark Troopers are equipped with repulsorlift jet packs that make them very agile attackers.
The Dark Troopers were first unleashed shortly after the Battle of Yavin, on the unsuspecting Alliance installation of Tak Base. The inhuman soldiers tore through all resistance, and devastated the Rebel outpost. Investigating this disturbing new assault was Alliance mercenary Kyle Katarn. He uncovered the secret Dark Trooper Project, and traced it back to its source on General Mohc's flagship the Arc Hammer.
Katarn infiltrated the Arc Hammer and sabotaged the titanic vessel. The Emperor was so infuriated by the loss of the Arc Hammer and the Dark Trooper Project, that all research into stormtrooper battle droids ended with Mohc's death.

Rebel Trooper
Spoiler Pedia Entry :
Description: Although small in numbers, the men and women of the Rebel Alliance were fiercely dedicated to the principle of freedom, and would lay down their lives to win their objectives. Some were Imperials disillusioned with their government's tyranny. Some were from worlds subjugated by the Empire. In stark contrast to the faceless anonymity of the stormtrooper ranks or the precision drilling of Imperial Academy training, Alliance troops were aggressively individualistic and much more rag-tag. Rebel Troopers belonged to a group called SpecForces and were charged with protecting High Command. The SpecForces were divided into specialized task forces that were geared toward specific duties.

*I got rid of the jerkiness in some of the animations
*Centered the unit

Droideka
Spoiler Pedia Entry :
Description: Developed and manufactured by the insectoid-like race the Colicoids, the droideka is a versatile heavy infantry unit that is programmed to destroy anything that gets in its path. The droideka is able to transform into a wheel like state for faster mobility and easy storage. When unfolded these insectoid-like droids stand on a tripod of legs to keep balance and even have some limited movement in this mode.
Droidekas are armed with 2 powerful twin blasters in each arm and a personal ray shield generator which makes them especially difficult to defeat. These shields are able to deflect almost all light blasters and small arms fire; however, they can be penetrated easily by heavier weaponry. When the droideka fires its weapons, the shields briefly turn off for a second, this may be because the droideka is unable to fire its blasters through the ray shield or that it's power supply cannot sustain shields when firing weapons. Although they are proven to be deadly, droidekas were only used sparingly due to their high cost.
