The First Order AT-ST (also known as the First Order All Terrain Scout Transport) is a ground assault walker built and used by the First Order that appeared in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. As this model is smaller than the First Order AT-AT, this walker is better for reconnaissance and anti-personnel missions.

Description
The First Order AT-ST had its design based on the old AT-ST of the Galactic Empire, but it has improved gyroscopic systems, making the walker more stable. This vehicle is also covered by a strong next generation armor that is lighter than the one of the Imperial AT-ST. Another difference is that the cockpit of the First Order AT-ST has a single long viewport for both crewmembers in its front instead of two separated viewports as the old AT-ST.
