T-47 airspeeder

"Are the speeders ready?''" "''Not yet. We're having some trouble adapting them to the cold."

- Han Solo and the Deck Officer

The T-47 airspeeder was a model of low-altitude vehicle. When the Alliance to Restore the Republic was stationed on the icy planet of Hoth, a contingent of T-47 airspeeders were modified to become assault fighters called snowspeeders. A small, wedge-shaped craft, the Alliance snowspeeder was a two-man ship, with a pilot and his or her rear-facing tailgunner. It had two heavy, forward-facing laser cannons and a harpoon cannon fitted in its rear arc.
