Description[]

The Skyblade-330 was similar to other Skyblade models used by the Cloud-Riders, such as the Arrogantus-X Skyblade-221 swoop bike, which had a side car for a passenger or gunner.^[4]

Enfys Nest's modified Skyblade-330 had a blaster cannon situated between the three steering vanes, situated at the end of a long outrigger attached to the main body of the vehicle. The maneuver controls connected to the outright by long, thin rods. Behind the pilot seat and above the repulsorlift engine was a single vertical rear wing. The pilot's feet rested on attitude control pedals. The main power cell was located beneath the maneuver controls at the base of the outrigger.^[2]

The Skyblade first appeared in the book Choose Your Destiny: A Han & Chewie Adventure before showing up onscreen in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Lucasfilm built a full-size practical speeder, using airplane parts for the "greebles." CGI was used to show the speeders in flight. It also used the same engine as the M-68 landspeeder.^[6]
