Now that the New Republic is running large scale military operations instead of just small hit and run attacks, command vehicles have become a priority. The fact that the New Republic tends to rely on high speed assault vehicles rather than the slower and more powerful walkers has made a high speed command vehicle necessary. The Battlemaster is the solution provided by RPD.

This large vehicle has a powerful sensor array, as well as a sophisticated communications package, capable of receiving and broadcasting sounds and images for nearly two hundred kilometers. The interior of the Battlemaster is comfortable and well appointed, capable of holding the listed number of passengers in relative comfort, with easy access to large viewscreens, a central holo- display projector, and various control panels.

The Battlemaster is clearly a priority target, and has been armored accordingly. The quad-laser mounts are remarkably effective weapons, though too expensive for general use. The roof of the Battlemaster is equipped with anti-personnel repeating blasters, and those manning those guns are given a good deal of protection by it's partial canopy.

All in all, the Battlemaster excels at it's given tasks, and is one of RPD's major successes.
