StarSpeeders were piloted by an RX pilot droid, assisted by an astromech droid navigator. The ship was fast and maneuverable for a transport. Given the lowered risk usually involved in interplanetary tourism, the ship was equipped only with minimal deflector shields and two simple blaster cannons. However, the tour brochure indicated that the hyperdrive (or "warp drive") was fairly advanced.
Despite the agency's claim that the ships themselves were highly advanced, they were often in need of repair.
Years after Star Tours went out of business, many StarSpeeder 3000s remained in service as late 19 ABY, when many could be seen operating around the planet Di'wor.

[edit] Behind the scenes
In the PC game TIE Fighter, one ship appears on a certain level, and when the player identifies it, the ship is identified as "StarSpeeder 3000." The StarSpeeder 3000 is also mentioned in the novel Specter of the Past.
"Warp Drive" is the primary means of propulsion for vehicles in Star Trek. Many early Star Wars tie-in media products mistakenly used this term for the faster-than-light drives of Star Wars ships, which are properly known as "hyperdrives."
With the launch of the new Star Tours II attraction at many Disney Parks, there will be a new starship which passengers will ride. The new ship, called the StarSpeeder 1000, will be white with a orange pin stripe, instead of the StarSpeeder 3000 which is white with blue pin stripe.[1]
