Infantry Support Platform/Legends

The Swamp Speeder,or Infantry Support Platform is a repulsorlift speeder deployed by the Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars for swamp combat. It is a semi-circular base protected by a red-and-white armoured shell. Mounted on the rear is a large turbofan, which working with speeder's repulsorlift drive, propels the craft through swamps. The 100 kph thrust fan provides both a forward propulsion and a precise braking airblast when reversed. It is crewed by two Clone troopers that sit on either side of the engine, to operate controls or fire the vehicles two forward mounted blaster cannons. These twin-blasters are highly effective against infantry forces such as battle droids and super battle droids and even the larger units such as the NR-N99 Tank Droids, Persuader-class Tank Droids and Mechanized Assault Flyers encountered on Felucia and Kashyyyk].It was one of specialized speeder bikes created towards the end of the [[Clone Wars and is a heavy variant of the BARC speeder.A terrain laser scanner is fitted to the speeder's underside, allowing Clone troopers to scout the environment for any foes.
