A variant of the AAC-1 speeder tank, the AAC-2 hovertank, or Anti-Aircraft Combat Tank-2, had stronger hull plating than its cousin and had stronger weapons. Rebel officers made good use of it during the Skirmishes of Yavin 4 when they were tasked with protecting a handful of Rebel leaders. They were all destroyed during the engagement in a nearly successful last-ditch effort to push back Imperial forces after the destruction of the blast doors on the temple that served as the Rebels' base.
