[edit] General Notes
The Airspeeder is employed by many economic governments. It was designed toward the end of the Civilization Era by 51 Enterprises, but its durability keeps it employed by many economic empires. It is efficient to operate and cheap to create, making it one of the most widely used ships in the Zeostar system and the surrounding sectors of the galaxy.
[edit] Equipment
Here is some of the equipment used by pilots of the Airspeeder.
[edit] Propulsion
The Airspeeder is powered by HSIP drives (high-speed ion parcticle accelerator drives), which were discovered in the early Space stage, and adapted for planetary use. These engines have a maximum speed of 700 MPH, and run on ions extracted from Red Spice, making them efficient and cheap to operate due to the large abundance of red spice. The engines also use the ions of spice very efficiently, making it one of the galaxy's most eco-friendly vehicles.
[edit] Armor
The outer armor of the craft is made of a gold and titainium alloy. It is lightweight, but sturdy. It can repell small arms fire up to a military EMP launcher. The alloy is not found in nature, so it was mixed in the labratories of 51 Industries on planet Anarchio in the Zeostar system.
[edit] Manufacturer Weapons
These weapons have been adapted especially for this ship by 51 Enterprises:
- Mini-Laser
- Small Pulse
- Rapid-fire plasma rifles
- Two high caliber mach 2 plasma chainguns
- Justa Bombs
[edit] Modified Versions
Some Airspeeders have modifications made by their empires or private pilots. Some, such as the capacity to hold a Planet Buster, are a violation of Galactic Code, while others such as increased cargo capacity which are perfectly legal.
[edit] Most Common Added Parts

- Abduction Beam
- Scanner
- Wormhole Key (For the very rich of course!)
- Shield Generator
- Missile Bay
- Capacity to hold a Planet Buster (Violation of Galactic Code)
- Hologram Projector (For hologram scouts)
- Antimatter Warp Drive (Allows lightspeed travel in space)
