Air Alderaan StarSpeeder 1000

Air Alderaan StarSpeeder 1000 The Air Alderaan StarSpeeder 1000 was a modified StarSpeeder 1000 spaceliner used by interstellar travel agency Star Tours to operate passenger flights bound for the Core World planet Alderaan prior to 0 BBY.

Description
Sturdy and trapezoid-shaped, the Air Alderaan StarSpeeder 1000 was a spin-off of the original Star Tours StarSpeeder 1000 passenger liner, uniquely designed for flights to the Core World planet of Alderaan sometime before 0 BBY. It could accommodate up to forty passengers at a time. Both sides of the Starspeeder 1000 featured five automatic doors that provided access to the rows of seats and its exterior was painted light grey with a red Aurebesh letter Aurek. An astromech droid was also loaded into a proper socket outside of the ship.

The transport was equipped with advanced hyperdrive and deflector shield systems as well as two flash cannons and two concealed laser cannons, a defensive armament to be used in case of safety-threatening encounters. It was crewed by a pilot, an astromech droid and a systems analyst.

Behind the scenes
The Air Alderaan StarSpeeder 1000 was first introduced on The Walt Disney Company website in 2011 as a papercraft model based on the original StarSpeeder 1000 first introduced in the Star Tours: The Adventures Continue simulator ride theme park attraction located at Disneyland in California and Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida. The speeder was also released in the same year in a set of die-cast toys for the Star Wars: Star Tours toy line, the StarSpeeder 1000 Spaceliner Collection.

According to a Star Tours: The Adventures Continue poster sign, only Star Tours flew StarSpeeder 1000s, which confirms Star Tours ownership of this vessel.
