Landspeeders

Landspeeders are ground-based repulsorlift vehicles, common on planets around the galaxy. Most families and individuals own their own landspeeder, especially on non-urban worlds where there is very little public transportation.

Landspeeders are normally dependent only upon repulsorlift, although some competition and military models use ion engines for greater top-end speed. An average speeder flies around 200 kilometers per hour, although the fastest models can reach speeds in excess of 350 kilometers per hour.

Speeders normally have a flight ceiling of less than five meters, so they are dependent upon smooth, well-groomed surfaces for stable flight, such as natural flats, calm water, or roads.

Landspeeders are built for many uses, including: • Personal sport speeders, which are normally two-seater affairs • Family speeders, with room for up to six passengers • Cargo or public transport speeders, which can carry hundreds of individuals and move several tons of cargo

They retain a significant sales edge over airspeeders due to their affordability.
