The Manka-class armored transport, also known as an APC or ATV, was a model of 100-ton armored walker in use by both the forces of the Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War, the Cold War, and Galactic War. Making up part of the Republic's armored vehicle units, the Manka-class armored transport saw use on battlefields across the galaxy, including extensive use across Ord Mantell

The Manka-class armored transport functioned as a quadrupedal walker with a central body, designed to carry up to 16 infantrymen, and plated in durasteel armor which enabled it to transport ground forces into areas too risky for shuttles. Connected via a short "neck" was an armored cockpit, which had the mobility to turn and view targets through its small, reinforced windows, with the addition of scopes, and housed the two primary blaster cannons. Four legs carried the walker over ground, and were protected by additional armor plating. Attached to the legs were its "feet", which were equipped with stabilizing grasping claws. On either side were two ball-mounted twin cannons providing the walker cover on its port and starboard sides. On the back of the hull were two smaller turrets to provide covering fire when deploying or withdrawing ground troops. To give access to its transport compartment, the whole rear hull was deployed, ending with a telescopic ramp.
