DC0052 speeder

The DC0052 intergalactic airspeeder was a type of airspeeder seen on Coruscant during the Clone Wars. Jedi Knights were known to pilot these vessels, and they were often referred to as Jedi speeders. These models were emblazoned with the insignia of the Open Circle Armada.

The DC0052 was designed in the shape of a flying wing, with a pair of aft-mounted propulsion drives and a small, one-being cockpit. The central fuselage was adapted to enhance the speeder's maneuverability and speed. This speeder commonly found a market among the wealthier members of the Galactic Republic.

Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker commandeered a DC0052 speeder docked at the Jedi Temple during the attempted arrest of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine by Mace Windu and three other Jedi Masters. Anakin raced to the Republic Executive Building in the airspeeder in time to prevent Palpatine's death, at the cost of Windu's life. Shortly afterwards, Obi-Wan Kenobi used a Jedi speeder to reach 500 Republica during his quest to locate his wayward former apprentice.
