HAILFIRE DROID
Engineering MODEL IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank

The IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank is easily identified by its treaded, hoop-like drive wheels. The InterGalactic Banking Clan commissioned the construction of the hailfire prior to the Clone Wars, and the units saw their first combat against Republic troops during the Battle of Geonosis. A hailfire is an armored missile platform best used to destroy enemy vehicles. Each of the two launchers mounted on a hailfire can hold up to 15 guided missiles.
