Legend

this large, military repuslorcraft was often supported by smaller, more maneuverable speeders. These speeders were modified version of the V-19 speeder, produced by SoroSuub during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found a place in the military of the Naboo. In the Royal Naboo armed forces, Gian speeders were supported by 2 or more Flash speeders. The Gian speeder measured 5.7 meters in length, could transport a total complement of four beings (a pilot, a gunner, and two passengers), and was armed with three light repeating laser blasters. The Gian speeder could attain speeds of 160 kilometers per hour. In order to ensure that the speeder remained operable during combat, the Naboo added redundant power generators for the weapons, and they upgraded the underside plating to withstand landmines. Special command versions of the Gian speeder contained enhanced communications systems.
