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 landspeeders 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 Many of these outdated landspeeders were kept in the hangars of Mount Tantiss.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.
