The A-1 Deluxe Floater, also known simply as the A-1 landspeeder, was a cheap, basic landspeeder, that featured automated steering and fine Corellian leather. It was first produced by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders in the months prior to the Clone Wars.
Characteristics

Another view of the A-1 Deluxe Floater
The Mobquet A-1 Deluxe floater was a capsule-shaped, yellow-hulled landspeeder with a pod-like cockpit seating a pilot and passenger in single file. The speeder's six external RS-J24 thruster engine modules propelled the A-1 at speeds of around 160 kilometers per hour. A series of inlet ports on the rounded nose drew in air to cool the engines, but the A-1 suffered from insulation problems, noise pollution and the risk of exterior odors filtering into the cockpit.
The 7.1-meter-long Deluxe floater was affordable at 6,500 credits, but lacked any kind of amenities and was considered to be a very basic speeder—though perfect for Outer Rim Territories worlds or the youthful speeder customization crowd in the Core.
HistoryEdit
Lady Valles Santhe used this model of landspeeder as her personal transport on Lianna.[3]
