Designed to reach surfaces that just about no other craft can, the Crampon ATW has a number of special features that make it one of the most useful vehicles in an exploration group's inventory. Primeworld had been doing a brisk business in these craft when they had to shut down due to suspected Rebel sympathies. Since then, those Crampons that have survived have risen steadily in value due to their demand by explorers and military organizations.

With two of Primeworld's trademark cutting lasers, the Crampon can clear a trail in minutes, and can usually break through any obstacles, given enough time. The Crampon's four legs are tipped with retractable pneumatic claws, as well as razor edged retractable claws, and only one of these sets can be extended at once. These claws enable the Crampon to break apart and climb just about any surface. The Crampon is atmospherically sealed (capable of storing up to one week worth of air in addition to other cargo) and quite dense, enabling it to sink to the bottom of most bodies of water, and then climb up the sides. Finally, the surface of the Crampon has been designed to be particularly resistant to corrosion, enabling it to travel in atmospheres where Imperial walkers would rust to immobility within minutes.

In terms of military application, the Crampon shares many aspects of the Anaconda landspeeder. Capable of getting to places where most military vehicles would be blocked, the Crampon is also fairly well armed and armored, origionaly in order to allow it to deal with just about any creature without too much difficulty. This combination of mobility and firepower can prove lethal in many situations, and the Crampon has joined the arsenals of many military and para-military organizations.
