The Mobile Defense Unit (MDU) was a versatile vehicle capable of several configurations used in the Galactic Civil War from around 0 ABY.

Used by the Galactic Empire, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and the Zann Consortium, these vehicles were essentially mobile pads that were capable of being upgraded for a variety of tasks— tasks that a normal turret pad could not complete. However, a drawback to the design was that once a unit had deployed its equipment it was unable to move at all until the equipment was removed and the vehicle had packed up again.
