History

The TX-130 was first developed by Rothana Heavy Engineering during the Clone Wars as a heavily armed and armored fighter tank. It was designed to support clone troopers on the battlefield by providing heavy fire support and troop transport capabilities. The TX-130 was first used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the latter days of the Clone Wars and quickly proved to be a valuable asset to the Republic's military forces.

After the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the TX-130 was put into mass production and was rebranded as the IFT-T (Imperial Fleet Troop Transport). The Empire utilized the IFT-T in many major engagements throughout the Galactic Civil War, often using them to ferry troops and equipment to battle locations. The IFT-T's heavy armor and powerful weapons made it a formidable opponent for rebel forces, and it was a key factor in the Empire's early victories.

As you can see, the IFT-T has a long and storied history, and it continues to be an important part of the Imperial Military's arsenal to this day.
