The rear internal compartment was cramped and contained a number of computer consoles which included a holographic communication system allowing for representations of commanders to be projected inside the vehicle. AT-TEs were often deployed in large numbers to overwhelm the enemy through sheer volume of firepower. The vehicle performed most admirably in support roles that involved providing immediate cover fire for battalions of soldiers. The AT-TE was a multi-purpose assault vehicle capable of tasks ranging from the transportation of clone trooper platoons around a battlefield to full-scale attacks upon enemy installations.

The AT-TE was a precursor to the Empire's All Terrain Armored Transport. The walker served in countless battles across the galaxy and eventually became part of the Imperial Army after the transformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire. Due to the vehicle's success in the battle, Rothana designed numerous other walkers for use by the GAR. The typical arsenal of an AT-TE included a top-mounted mass-driver cannon, along with six other laser cannons placed strategically around the outside of the vehicle.ĪT-TEs were first used in action during the First Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Some versions of the walker were able to scale vertical cliffs, as evidenced in the Battle of Teth. On the back end of the machine was a large door that allowed for quick deployment of troopers in a battle. The AT-TE's rear compartment contained computer hologram communication devices and space for troopers to stand during transportation.

The walker was used for numerous tasks including, but not limited to, transporting platoons of clone troopers on the battlefield and attacking enemy installations.

The All Terrain Tactical Enforcer ( AT-TE), sometimes called a tank by clone troopers, was an all terrain assault walker developed for the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) during the Clone Wars. ' These weapons of war would be awe-inspiring, if they were not so terrifying.' ― Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, after the AT-TE's official unveiling
