Legend

an old model "floater" produced by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders, this landspeeder was produced just prior to the onset of the Clone Wars. It was not the fastest, sleekest, or most desirable speeder on the market, and was initially panned by critics. It was, however, extremely reliable and inexpensive. The body was 7.1 meters in length, but was thin and cylindrical, allowing it to accommodate just a pilot and a single passenger. The configuration of the speeder meant that the pilot and passenger had to sit one behind the other. An option on the A-1 was Corellian leather seating. One of the primary drawbacks to the A-1 Deluxe was the lack of cooling capacity for its drive systems. The A-1 Deluxe had a two-meter flight ceiling, and could attain speeds of 160 kilometers per hour.
