STAP-2
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "A modified version of the standard recon STAP, the Heavy STAP supports laser cannons and powerful missiles. The lightly armored vehicle is typically used to explore dangerous areas or mop up retreating enemy forces. Less agile than the generic STAP, the Heavy STAP has difficulty traveling over some terrain, including rivers."
- ―Captain Panaka[src]
The STAP-2, which was also known as the Heavy STAP, was developed for the Trade Federation prior to the Battle of Naboo.

Its disadvantages included less agility than the standard STAP-1 and difficulty in crossing certain types of terrain, including rivers.
