- "These lovely engines of death will hold the rebels at bay until we can get the devastators up an' runnin'!"
- ―Deppo, on a group of mass-produced A-Q5 Waveskimmers during the siege of Mon Calamari
The A-Q5 Waveskimmer, also known as the wavewalker[source?] and wave walker[1], was an Imperial aquatic light assault vehicle.
This 14-meter-long vehicle was designed to glide over the surface of any body of water. Based on an AT-AT frame, this vehicle was supported by two sturdy legs which angled down from either side of the cockpit. These flat boom-like spars terminated in a pontoon that allowed the waveskimmer to float on the water's surface. They also featured servomotors that could ensure the craft's pilot could position the pontoons in the same plane as the cockpit and that could react to the craft's acceleration lifting it off the surface to gain speed.
The waveskimmers could carry seatroopers,stormtroopers and cargo, and had a weapons-load consisting of two concussion missiles, two medium blaster cannons, and two light blaster cannons. A single pilot controlled the waveskimmer
The waveskimmers were constructed within the reborn Emperor Palpatine's deadly World Devastators and were deployed directly into combat on Mon Calamari against the New Republic.
