T-47 airspeeder/Legends

The Incom T-47 Snowspeeder is combat vehicle, modified by the Rebellion from the basic airspeeder model. Rebel pilots used them in their defense of Echo Base, on Hoth, from invading Imperial forces.

The Snowspeeder itself is a modified civilian speeder. Extensive remodeling was needed to convert an unarmed passenger vehicle into a type of speeder that could function for extended periods in the extremely low atmospheric temperature of Hoth.

The craft is armed with dual laser cannons and a tow cable, and (like the original-model Y-Wing), can be operated by two crewmen: one pilot, and one gunner. The tow cable was used to great effect by the Rebel forces to tie up the massive AT-AT ground vehicles, causing them to crash to the ground, completely immobile and defenseless.
