The AB-1 landspeeder was a stubby repulsorcraft produced during the height of the Galactic Empire.
A small repulsorlift
transport, usually designed to carry no more than two
passengers. A landspeeder’s repulsor field suspends the vehicle about a meter above
the ground, even when the speeder is parked. Many of these outdated landspeeders were kept in the hangars of Mount Tantiss.
Its fuselage was little more than a box surrounding the two-person cockpit, with the front angled downward to provide aerodynamic stability. A repulsorlift engine pod was mounted to each side of the fuselage, giving the landspeeder its signature appearance. The AB-1 could carry two people and could reach the same speeds as the X-34 landspeeder but had worse terrain negotiation which made it slow on hills.
