Article Title/Topic: 008 Heavy Landspeeder

General Information Body Paragraph

The 008 heavy landspeeder was a vital addition to the Imperial arsenal since it was fast and nimble. The 008 did, however, have one design weakness that harmed it in battle: the simultaneous firing of all of its guns caused the ship to become unstable. This was thought to be because the twin aft guns, which lacked the forward counterparts' superb microtronics, were forced to drain power from the lateral stabilizers.

History/Background Body Paragraph

The 008 heavy landspeeder was a new acquisition for the Imperial Army at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and it was still being tested on worlds like Goroth Prime. It rapidly became a favorite of their pilots there. Since it was a battle design, the 008 heavy landspeeder was only marketed to militaries, namely the Empire's, although like with many types of technology, there were illegal ways to get them.

Additional Information Body Paragraph

 Each speeder was eight meters long and had a crew of one pilot and one gunner. Two rear-mounted fire-linked medium blasters and a forward fire-linked double laser cannon were standard weaponry. The landspeeder could reach speeds of 315 kilometers per hour and had a three-meter flying ceiling.
