"The IL29 has distinguished itself as the premier heavy tank for the Imperial forces, incorporating a suite of defensive measures to keep crew-survivability exceptionally high. Incorporating a specially-constructed armored shell around the hull, turret, and turret basket capable of resisting all but the heaviest guns in the Republican arsenal, this shell is bolstered by additional skirt and applique armored at key frontal locations, as well as early-production ERA panels to deflect shaped-charge attacks. Additionally, there is a small loader's hatch in the rear of the turret that can serve as a crew escape route for a disabled tank.

Designed to tackle the largest of enemy vehicles both at range and in close-quarters, it features the common 107mm gun and 7.7mm coaxial mounted on the ON-89, along with a 20mm cannon and a remote-slaved .52 machinegun mounted in a mini-turret on the deck of the main turret with a limited forward traverse.

The IL-29 is most commonly found in Heavy Armored Rejments, crewed by section and company commanders, serving as both a mobile headquarters and direct-assault weapon."
