Snowspeeder

A snowspeeder is a repulsorlift vehicle seen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

During the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance aquired a number of Incom T-47 airspeeders. Despite their civilian origins, Rebel engineers and mechanics modified these vehicles into capable combat aircraft, arming them with laser cannons and tow cables. Those Rebel engineers were very adept at modifying the vehicles for operating in specialized environments improving their operational performance in those conditions. Modified speeders took on the nickname for the specific environment they were altered to operate in, Snowspeeders, Sandspeeders, etc. They played a major role during the Battle of Hoth.
