INCOM T-47 AIRSPEEDER

Incom's T-47 is a powerful, low-altitude airspeeder. This
low-profile, wedge-shaped airspeeder seats its two crew
back-to-back in a cramped but well laid-out cockpit with
the pilot facing forward and the systems operator facing
aft. The T-47 draws power from Karydee's reliable KD49
repulsorlift engine, which gives it immense towing power
while providing better than average speed and agility. Sup-
plementing the KD49 is one of Incom's 5i.2 ion afterburn-
ers, which provides extra thrust when needed.
Like many of Incom's products, the T-47s were
designed with an eye to end-user modification. In
this case, Incom designers felt that since the in-
dustrial and commercial economies of the galaxy
are so varied, a vehicle designed to work in these
environments should be easily adaptable to any
job or environment. The speeder's repulsorlift en-
gine produces an immense amount of power, and
combined with a number of redundant electrical
systems and a modular design, the T-47 can easily
handle both the weight and power demands of af-
termarket modifications. Incom itself sells a num-
ber of modification packages for the T-47, as do a
number of smaller manufacturers. It's also ru-
mored that some paramilitary and insurgent forc-
es in the galaxy have modified these stout vehicles
with weapons and heavy armor, a rumor not out-
side the realm of possibility, but one that is offi-
cially denied by Incom.

LANDSPEEDERS

The personal, commercial, and military vehicle of

choice for most sentients, landspeeders are produced

in countless millions by hundreds of manufacturers

such as SoroSuub and Incom. Landspeeders use low-

output repulsor engines to keep the vehicles hovering

a constant one to two meters off the ground. Turbofan

engines provide forward and reverse thrust. They typi-

cally have a maximum altitude of less than one hun-

dred meters, can carry passengers or various amounts

of cargo, and are cheap, efficient, and reliable. Running

the gamut from speeder bikes and small, two-person

runabouts to massive transports, civilian landspeeders

make up the bulk of production from the major speed-

er manufacturers. Military and law enforcement land-

speeders have decidedly heavier armor and weapons.

Speeders ignore hazards and the effects of terrain

lower than their operational altitude.

ELECTROMAGNETIC HARPOON

m

ounted in a remote-operated turret aft of the

cockpit, the T-47's electromagnetic harpoon

was designed with towing in mind. Controlled by

the speeder's systems operator, or by the pilot

in a pinch, the harpoon consists of a pneumatic

cannon that launches a short durasteel rod con-

nected to a few dozen yards of high-tensile braid-

ed cable. The rod is tipped with a powerful elec-

tromagnetic disc that receives its power through

the harpoon's cable, which is in turn connected

to a powerful winch located in the hull beneath

the cannon. While not a weapon per se, the har-

poon can be used to knock down personnel or

droids, move obstacles, ensnare large creatures

or vehicles, and generally create havoc, hence its

Knockdown and Ensnare qualities.
