Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Turtle Tanker was a starship used during the Clone Wars. Its enlarged, box-like hull was mostly utilized for storage and transport of medical equipment, rations or other cargo.

The legs of the Turtle Tanker stored the engines and doubled as feet when landing on solid terrain. The cockpit could be detached and used as a small independent craft; a secondary control panel within the main tanker allowed it to be piloted even without the cockpit.
