StarSpeeder 3000/Legends



The StarSpeeder 3000 was a transport spacecraft with 40 seats for flyers used by Star Tours. It is unknown what company designed the craft, but they were produced sometime around the Battle of Hoth. StarSpeeders were piloted by RX pilot droids, assisted by an astromech droid navigator. The ship was fast and maneuverable for a transport. Given the lowered risk usually involved in intergalactic tourism, the ship was equipped only with minimal deflector shields and simple blaster cannons. However, the tour brochure indicated that the hyperdrive and warp drive were fairly advanced.

Behind the scenes
In the PC game TIE Fighter, one ship appears on a certain level, and when the player identifies it, the ship is identified as "StarSpeeder 3000," a tribute to the attraction. The StarSpeeder 3000 is also mentioned in the novel Specter of the Past.

Warp Drive is also the primary means of propulsion for vehicles in Star Trek. It is uncertain whether or not the mentioning of the Starspeeder 3000 having Warp Drive was a deliberate reference or a mistake on the part of the writers for the vehicle's description.
