[P15 - Kalarba - PK] TX-225 GAVr "Occupier" Combat Assault Tank

The TX-225 GAVr tank is the workhorse of the Kalarban Army. Whether it is delivering critical supplies to the front, transporting precious artifacts to Protectorate strongholds, or taking soldiers where they need to be, this heavily armed transport vehicle is a common sight in Imperial bases. Having been in service for almost a decade, some new recruits view the TX-225 GAVr as a clunky relic, but their crews take pride in their vehicles' high efficiency and heavy firepower.

Imperial stormtroopers, a rare sight in the Protectorate of Kalarba, accompany a TX-225 on its way to pick up a crucial piece of military hardware.

The TX-225 GAVr is highly modular, with most variants taking advantage of the spacious bed to add additional components. One example is the W114 cage module, typically used to transport prisoners or involuntary unpaid laborers between Imperial installations.

As in many Imperial remnants, Wookies are a common source of labor in the Protectorate of Kalarba.

 

While the majority of TX-225 GAVr variants were designed for logistics and support roles, a few were intended to see direct combat. The most common battlefield variant is equipped with a turbolaser, which requires two additional crew to operate. The turbolaser is typically used for anti-aircraft defense, but can be effective against enemy vehicles or infantry. With the increase in pirate activity near Kalarba, TX-225 GAVr tanks armed with turbolaser have been fulfilling more unorthodox roles, such as providing portable air defense at Kalarban spaceports.
