Punchy - Despite being a transport vehicle, the equipped weapons allow some chance against enemy forces if made to engage in combat action.
Speed - Designed as a transport vehicle, its main purpose is to deliver troops to the battlefield. Its decent speed gives it the best chance to react and adapt to the shifting battlefield around it.
Maneuverability - What is speed without good control? With finely tuned repulsor systems aboard, this vehicle is capable of great speed and agility in the demanding setting of a battlefield.

Open Midsection - While consisting of the same materials as most other Naboo Armored Vehicles, the passenger section of the craft gives it a significant weakness in exchange for quick loading and unloading of personnel.
Figured Out - Being that it is a repuslor vehicle, it can be brought to a halt with appropriate attacks to disable the drives and remove the vehicle from a predicted fight.
Purpose - This vehicle is not intended for frontline combat purposes despite the weapons equipped.

A transport speeder for troops was the next idea to come to the design teams of both PGEM and the Royal Naboo Republic teams.

Building upon the command vehicle to make ample room for both troops and their gear, it was decided to allow for deployment of troops from both a rear facing door, and a retractable hatch. Unable to make a hatch of the same material function properly, it was decided to forgo the heavier materials for an open design to allow troops to deploy from both sides of the open compartment. This also makes medical evacuation of the injured far simpler given one does not have to worry about clearances regarding a hatch or back wall.

Able to carry twenty-four troopers along with a small assortment of additional supplies such as medical equipment, explosives, or shoulder launchers.

The operator's cabin door opens to the passenger compartment though is completely sealed otherwise. Housing the driver and the gunner behind a theadian viewport and several layers of armor. The driver is in direct control of the two forward mounted laser cannons while the gunner is responsible for the turreted laser cannons on the roof. A somewhat limited firing arc is present in the design to the right side of the vehicle, requiring a highly aware driver to make the best decision possible in the circumstances provided to them.

The Pikobi transport serves it's purpose while retaining the elegance that is standard for most naboo designs as a swift and agile troop transport capable of securing a deployment zone while deploying troops with ease and even evacuating the injured in dire circumstances.
