Speeders

Vehicle

Ubiquitous and reliable, speeders can be found on even the most backwater worlds in the Galaxy. The standard ground and air transportation technology, they are produced in two general types: landspeeders and airspeeders.
Landspeeders are the personal, commercial, and military vehicle of choice throughout the galaxy. They are produced in countless numbers by hundreds of well-respected manufacturers such as SoroSuub and Incom. With their low-powered repulsorlift generators, landspeeders have an average altitude of less than one hundred meters and can carry a mixture of passengers and cargo. Landspeeders are cheap, efficient, reliable transportation with designs that run the gamut from swoops and speeder bikes to small, two-person runabouts to massive freight transporters. Speeders ignore hazards and the effects of terrain lower than their operating altitudes. 
Just as common as their land-bound cousins, airspeeders are found anywhere speeders are common. In general, airspeeders are small-to-medium-sized atmospheric craft with aerodynamic hulls, powered by a combination of repulsorlift generators and either ion drives or air-breathing jet thrusters. Even the smallest airspeeders can reach dizzying altitudes, and many can even enter low orbit if need be. In their multitude, they fill a variety of civilian and military roles that are unsuitable for the common landspeeder or the expensive and high maintenance starfighter.
