CharacteristicsEdit

The Rebel combat speeder was reminiscent of the earlier V-19 design,[source?] but had military-grade armor and powerful guns and rocket launchers.[1] The speeder would often be used by resource-strapped Rebel sector forces.

A heavier version, also used by the Rebellion, featured three tail engines, thicker armor, and more powerful cannons.[3]

HistoryEdit

The design was won by the Rebel Alliance during a late game of Sabacc, where a SoroSuub designer was forced to hand over the plans, after gambling away everything else of value. The Rebellion's officers found use for the speeder in raids and against enemy vehicles.[1] The speeder was also effective against infantry. They were used by the New Republic as late as the Liberation of Coruscant.[4]

Behind the scenesEdit

The alternate combat speeder variant cut in Star Wars: Battlefront.

The Rebel combat speeder would be replaced by the AAC-1 hovertank in Star Wars: Battlefront II, although that vehicle would share the exact same backstory as this one. If taken at face value, that would either mean that one designer lost two designs during a gambling-spree, or that two different SoroSuub designs were lost due to multiple reckless employees. Additionally, the image of the vehicle from the Star Wars: Battlefront official website differs from the in-game model.

This was also the Rebel's Strike Mech and Heavy Strike Mech unit in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.
