SPECIAL FEATURES
Tank this speeder can withstand a lot of hits and even comes with its own shield.
Weapons hopefully the driver will never have to use them, but if worse comes to [SIZE=10pt]worst[/SIZE] they can rely on blaster cannons and a grenade launcher to get them free of danger. Mostly.
Defense: This thing can take a lot of hits from the top and the sides, front and back - that impervium along with the [SIZE=10pt]trimantium[/SIZE] and crystadurium makes it hard to get through this thing.
Weapons: This speeder while docile looking does have some weapons on it, not a lot but enough to get by.
Like, Roads Only Man: This doesn’t get any kind of air, or travel well in the water - it’ll just sink right to the bottom. Best to use on the roads and take some nice long drives with.
Enjoy the Roses: This is going to do 0 to 100km in maybe two minutes, two and a half minutes? Longer? This van isn’t for the speed demons, enjoy the roses - take a selfie.
Ruh-Roh: The bottom of the speeder doesn’t have the impervium so the van is still susceptible to mines.
A lone model of the “5H4-61” or Sha-Gi named for an ancient if mythological Jedi who once bore the name. St. Scoobert’s Motorhut of Celanon had already been making a set of these when an order from the Sith Empire came through. Maybe it was due to their dislike of being taken over by the Sith, but the folks at Scoobert’s painted the speeder with bright colors.
It would be the Sith-Imperial Artisans Guild with conjunction with a few Engineers who would take the speeder apart and give it a different set of defenses, this meant taking out back seats and putting in room for a defender shield which would honestly take up most of the space, in [SIZE=10pt]addition[/SIZE], wiring a remote grenade launcher from the roof to a special screen that would allow either driver or passenger to operate it.
Forward fixed blaster cannons and a button the speeder’s steering would allow for ease of access for the driver. Same for the dampener aerosol, all in [SIZE=10pt]all[/SIZE], the speeder would be a very tight fit for driver and passenger. Speed and maneuverability would be sacrificed as well - but the members of the Artisan Guild and the few Engineers who worked on the project enjoyed the color scheme that the guys at St. Scoobert’s painted it with. So they kept it as they put the speeder back together. They weren't however amused with the name of the speeder and gave it a more generic model number.
