StarSpeeder 1000

StarSpeeder 1000 "With Star Tours you will be safe and mostly assured that you're in the fastest vehicle this side of the Outer Rim... the all-new Starspeeder 1000!"

- C-3PO

The StarSpeeder 1000 was a model of transport starship once operated by the Star Tours travel agency. It was manufactured on the Core planet of Corellia, the inhabitants of which had a long-established reputation of crafting fast star cruisers.

Characteristics
Sturdy and roughly box-shaped, the transport could accommodate up to forty passengers at a time. Both sides of the Starspeeder 1000 featured five doors that provided access to the rows of seats. While the Star Tours company advertised its transport as "the most sophisticated and luxurious spaceliner in its class," the cabin of the Starspeeder 1000 was rather spartan, featuring little more than a passenger seating area, a small piloting deck and a viewport. However, the transport was equipped with advanced hyperdrive and deflector shields, and the seats had personal safety belts. The vehicle was also equipped with two flash cannons and two concealed laser cannons, a defensive armament to be used in case of safety-threatening encounters.

History
The StarSpeeder 1000 was used by Star Tours in the time span from 19 to 0 BBY. During that period, Star Tours organized several tour packages and assigned StarSpeeders with specific designations and markings to each of them. For example, the Naboo Spacelines StarSpeeder, which was bound to the planet Naboo in the Chommell sector, was painted yellow and red with a white Aurebesh letter Nern.

However, by the year 4.3 ABY, shortly after the Battle of Endor, the StarSpeeder 1000 had been superseded by the largely identical StarSpeeder 3000.

Behind the scenes
Early teaser footage for the updated Star Tours II revealed that part of the ride would include the StarSpeeder 1000, bursting into the Boonta Eve Classic pod race. In a high resolution image of the scene provided to various media outlets, the 1000 designation on the speeder could be seen.
