Legend

this amphibious vehicle was produced by the Mon Calamari for use in military campaigns on aquatic worlds. The Crestrunner resembled many other Mon Calamari submersibles, but it was equipped with a set of walker-like legs for locomotion in shallow water and on the ground. Measuring twenty meters in length, the L9 Crestrunner required a crew of four to operate, and could accommodate up to thirty-eight passengers and a metric ton of cargo. The L9 was armed with four blaster cannons and a pair of torpedo launchers. On land, the Crestrunner was capable of speeds of sixty kilometers per hour. In the water, it could move about at more than 150 kilometers per hour. Its maximum safe depth was twelve kilometers.
