In the fictional [[Star Wars]], the '''Multi-Troop Transport''' or MTT is a vehicle used to transport [[battle droid]]s by the [[Trade Federation]]. It was manufactured and designed by [[Baktoid Armour Workshop]]. It could carry 112 [[battle droid]]s with their standard blaster rifles. They are 13 metres tall and 31 metres long. The MTT's face is reinforced and studded with case-hardened metal alloy studs and is designed to smash through enemy walls so that troops may be deployed into battle immediately. The MTT's control room is staffed by a battle droid pilot and a droid gunner/engineer. Its weapons are four 17kv anti-personnel blaster cannons mounted in ball turrets.

His semi-autobiographical novel ''[[The Short-Timers]]'' was later made into the film ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''.
