Ground Vehicles

Wheels, walkers, and low-flying repulsorlifts.

Chariot Command Speeder
Among the most common command vehicles in the Imperial military, the Chariot light assault vehicle was built to protect command personnel when duty required them to appear on the battlefield. The chariot comes equipped with heavy-duty repulsorlifts, onboard holographic tactical displays, and an encrypted communications array. The craft is also protected by electromagnetic shielding, so that even the most powerful electromagnetic bursts won't shut down its systems and leave hundreds of troops without effective leadership. The Chariot has a maximum altitude of 25 feet.

The pilot and copilot occupy the two forward seats, while the commander oversees the battlefield from a station toward the rear of the cabin. In extreme circumstances, the Chariot can carry a command crew of five(including the commander), but the tremendous amount of electronic equipment in the aft section makes the accommodations tight. Under optimal circumstances, a Chariot Command speeder is accompanied by a number of escort vehicles and a platoon of troops. In the event of boarding, the copilot is also trained to act as the commander's bodyguard.

Speeder Bikes
These small, fast personal transports appeal to teenagers looking for thrills, military forces that require effective scout vehicles, and law enforcers needing swift pursuit craft. Speeder bike races are popular in the core systems, where they are viewed as more refined than the extremely dangerous podraces. Still, speeder bikes emphasize speed and maneuverability over safety and protection.

The Nightfalcon series is popular with civilians, racers, and military forces. (Models made available to the public are not typically equipped with weapons.) It can achieve a maximum altitude of 35 feet, which is standard for speeder bikes. Speeder bikes occupy an area 10 feet long and 5 feet wide.
