Single Trooper Aerial Platform/Legends

"We could have stayed hidden in the swamps forever, if not for those accursed STAPs. They rooted us out of the trees like Gungans searching for gumbols."

- Tobias Pall

The Single Trooper Aerial Platform, known as the STAP-1 or simply STAP, was an agile flying machine designed for use by the Trade Federation's and Confederacy of Independent Systems' B1 battle droids.



It was similar in design to personal repulsorlift airhooks used for both civilian and military purposes. Designed to travel fast, the STAP's only weapon was a twin blaster cannon connected to it. High voltage energy cells powered the machine.

Each STAP-1 was piloted by a single battle droid that stood on a long foot panel, gripping a pair of handles that controlled its weapons and were used to pilot the craft.

The STAP-1 was used for scouting and anti-personnel hunting operations. Because of its open design, STAP units were vulnerable to enemy heavy weapons, making them rely on their speed and agility to dodge enemy fire.
