The Rebel combat speeder was originally a failed armored speeder-design made by the SoroSuub Corporation.

[edit] Characteristics

The speeder was reminiscent of the earlier V-19 design, but had military-grade armor and powerful guns for such a small vehicle. 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, upgraded to an airspeeder, and more powerful cannons.

[edit] History

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.

[edit] Behind the scenes

This Rebel vehicle 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. This was also the Strike Mech in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.
