X-34 LANDSPEEDER

SoroSuub's X-34 is a two-passenger, coupe-styled ci-
vilian landspeeder known for its solid reputation for
reliability. Powered by SoroSuub's Twinstar repulsorlift
engine and supplemented by a trio of low-output tur-
bofan engines, the X-34 provides utility and respect-
able performance, if not a large amount of style or
dash, in a sturdy, affordable package. More utilitarian
than many offerings from SoroSuub, this speeder has
little in the way of amenities. It has a snug cockpit with
two form-fitting seats covered in hard-wearing rubber-
ized fabric. The controls are simple and the speeder is
easy to drive, making it a useful utility speeder.


Corellian Mining intended the vehicles to serve as
semi-autonomous mining operations on rough, fron-
tier worlds. Their primitive but reliable nuclear fusion
steam reactors and multiple treads ensure they sel-
dom break down, and their weight and armor means
they can survive the harshest environments.
Digger crawlers are robust and customizable
enough that they can be found across the galaxy, and
put to uses they were not originally designed for. A
good example of this can be found on the planet Ta-
tooine. There, countless digger crawlers were left be-
hind by various mining consortiums over the years,
only to be salvaged and repurposed by nomadic Jawa
clans. Now these "sandcrawlers" roam the wastes of
Tatooine, looking for scrap, and selling and trading to
moisture farmers and other nomads.

WHEELED AND TRACKED


VEHICLES


Perhaps the oldest extant mechanized transportation
technology in the galaxy, vehicles propelled by mul-
tiple wheels or articulated tread or tracks, colloquially
known as groundcars or ground vehicles, are typically
found on backwater, less civilized worlds. Cheaper
than either speeders or walkers, they also tend
to be more reliable and easier
to maintain than more advanced
forms of transport. Despite their
limitations and primitive nature,
some military vehicles still utilize
treads and wheels due to their inherent
reliability and all-terrain capabilities.
Wheeled vehicles suffer the effects of ter-
rain as discussed in Ground Vehicles and Ter-
rain, page 253, while tracked vehicles treat all
terrain as if it were one step lower difficulty.
