The Espo Walker 101 served as the successor to the Espo Walker 91 walker model.
Similar to the model it replaced, the 101's purpose was to provide a single soldier with the firepower of a combat squad.
At the peak of the Galactic Civil War, the 101 remained an uncommon sight within Security Police units, with less than 10% of all stations receiving these walkers.
Even though the 101 was costly and often broke down, it nearly achieved its intended strategic objective.
