The Gargantuan is an Aratec 520 Battle Platform prototype featured in Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. Roughly the shape of the Home One, it was stolen by Garm Bel Iblis from an Imperal testing facility. It can hold infantry and heroes in bunker-style, and is armed with two Turbolaser cannons, four Laser cannons, and two shield generators. The Gargantuan can release a force field similar to the Jedi Force Push called Shield Flare that either destroys or severely damages the enemy within the field's radius. The blast is supplied from the shield generators, and the radius and power of the blast is proportionate to the shield's strenght.
