Side mission: loose cannon

By DDadsge, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

Hey guys,

I was wondering if Mak Eshka'rey keeps all his abilities while playing as the AT-ST during the Loose Cannon side mission?

I'd think he only has his abilities when outside the AT-ST, but I'm not sure as it is not described in the mission rules. It would be strange for an AT-ST to disengage when I get close to him, or for it to be covert.

Also if the rebel players are playing a 2 or 3 player game, does the AT-ST also get the benefits from the Legendary or Heroic cards?
