After-action analysis revealed the Juggernaut artillery walkers were ill-equipped to repel close quarters assaults from infantry. As an interim solution, Juggernauts were modified with a dorsal infantry-carrying pod. These infantry-carrying Juggernauts proved successful and the type was authorized for full development, and nicknamed the Behemoth. The Behemoth combat trials were carried out by the Steel Talons experimental combat technology division. It was expected the vehicle would see general deployment afterwards.
