Keluda's speeder bike

Legends

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

This speeder bike was a repulsorlift vehicle in operation during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The Dug assassin Keluda notably owned one of these speeder bikes.

This model featured a large windscreen protecting the bike's thin frame, and two headlights mounted on the front. The controls consisted of handlebars, and Keluda's bike appeared to have been modified with an additional pair of handlebars to suit his Dug physiology.

Keluda piloted this speeder bike during the attempted assassination of Senator Simon Greyshade, following the death of Jheramahd Greyshade. Keluda fired upon Simon's airspeeder from the seat of his speeder bike, though the Senator's Jedi protectors, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, managed to evade the Dug's shots. A chase ensued, progressing around the cars of a hauler tram. Kenobi leaped from his speeder and onto the tram just as Keluda rounded the hauler, and sliced his speeder bike in two with his lightsaber. The pieces fell towards the lower levels of Galactic City, and Keluda himself was killed moments later by a reflected shot from Kenobi's blade.
