Heavy Missile Platform Droid Gunship

HEAVY MISSILE PLATFORM DROID GUNSHIP



"By your command." ―A gunship to General Kalani

The HMP (Heavy Missile Platform) droid gunship, also simply known as the droid gunship, NZRE gunship, or HMP Predator, was deployed by the NZRE Droid Army relatively in the middle of the Clone Wars. Heavy Missile Platforms were developed by NZRE Combat Industries for the NZRE Droid Army in response to the success of the Grand Army of the Republic's Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry gunship. The gunships saw their first major Clone Wars action around 20 BBY when four of them were deployed on the planet Onderon to fight off an army of rebels. The HMPs would later be used to escort Emperor Zack and a boarding party to the Republic Navy's Negotiator. The gunships would again be used during the Battle of Kashyyyk in 19 BBY.
