* The heavy repeating blasters can only fire in multifire and autofire mode, but the attack penalties are -2 and -4, respectively, instead of the normal -4, -6.  Note that these weapons are functionally identical to an E-Web.

This is a riot control and assault vehicle designed to quell riots through intimidation or, if necessary, applying overwhelming and even lethal force.  When police officers in riot gear are showing restraint, the repeating blasters are set to stun and the mortars will be loaded with stun grenades instead of concussion rounds.  However, it is more than capable of cutting down massive numbers of unarmed or light armed hostile targets.  Variants of the Strikebreaker are used in regular armed forces (such as the Imperial Army) as armored personnel carriers for platoon-sized infantry units.  The Strikebreaker is first available several years before the Battle of Yavin, and earlier versions (intended exclusively for the Army of the Old Republic and lacking the stun barricade) have been available for almost two centuries.
