The ground forces of the Empire use at least one variant AT-TE in a logistical support role. This AT-TE is unarmed and has an open top to enable it to work as cargo carrier. The lower hull and limbs are otherwise resemble those of the large AT-TE models that saw action in the Clone Wars. The role of this walker is similar to that of the AT-OT, although the latter is armed.
The single driver sits in an open cabin. If a suitable gap is left, the rear compartments can be configured to carry passengers. One of these walkers seen on Maridun was equipped with a cable and winch system under its chin; this machinery was strong enough to free a juggernaut that had lodged itself on a boulder. The AT-TE also had at least one cargo crane for transferring materiel to and from the topside cargo area.
