X-34 landspeeder/Legends

"Ever since the XP-38 came out, they just aren't in demand."

- Luke Skywalker upon selling his X-34 landspeeder

The X-34 was an open-air/sealed cockpit civilian landspeeder manufactured by SoroSuub. One famous owner is Luke Skywalker.

Characteristics


Durable if not stylish, the X-34 featured holographic displays, a computer for ground navigation, and a number of repulsor counterbalances for smooth and steady travel over rough terrain. Its maximum altitude was 1.5 meters, but its usual cruising altitude was roughly 10 cm above ground level.

The X-34 retailed for roughly 10,550 credits new, 2500 used. It was light, unarmored, and featured no weapon mounts and was thus unsuitable for military applications, unlike the Seraph-class urban landspeeder or the Rebel combat speeder, also manufactured by SoroSuub.

History
The popularity of the X-34 waned considerably when SoroSuub began manufacture of the XP-38 landspeeder, a similar but sleeker model.

Behind the scenes

 * In The Phantom Menace, a green X-34 is seen in the background on Tatooine. This is the same speeder that was used in the making of A New Hope, only repainted.
 * Roleplaying game sources claim a top speed of 330 km/h, but the SWCCG card Luke's X-34 Landspeeder claims a top speed of 250 km/h.
 * Children of the Jedi calls it a "T-70".
