Hovertrains,[1] also known as mag-levs,[2] were vehicles used in mass-transit that operated by hovering. Such trains operated on planets such as Coruscant[source?] and Ryloth.[3] A hovertrain was also used by the Pyke Syndicate as a way of transporting spice from the spice mines of Kessel across the deserts of Tatooine utill it eventually got hijacked by a clan of Tusken Raiders with the help of Boba Fett.[4]
