Trast Heavy Transports A-A5 heavy speeder truck was designed to transport heavy cargo across rough worlds, and was covered in armored plates to protect it and its cargo from harsh environmental conditions.
The truck required a crew of three people, which made it perfect for long runs over several days, allowing the crew to drive constantly by sleeping in shifts. Its internal cargo capacity was an impressive number of 25 tons and fold-out benches in its bay allowed to carry 25 people securely. Thick armor plating made it easily reconfigured to serve as an unarmed troop transport.[3]

[edit] History
A number of groups used A-A5 as a simple troop transport, depending on their armor and range to bring infantry into the thick of battle. Although such role required no additional modifications, which would attract the unwanted attention during inspections, it was not tough enough for a frontline military duty.
Since A-A5 was a fast and economical way to transport tons of cargo, it was a common sight on many different worlds. It was found on numerous planets throughout the Clone Wars, the rise of the Galactic Empire and the Galactic Civil War.[3]
