Bloodfin
Canon Legends version → Linked from 30 articles
Bloodfin, also identified as the Sith Speeder, was the personal repulsorcraft speeder bike of the Zabrak Sith apprentice Darth Maul. Like all FC-20 speeder bike models, Bloodfin was originally manufactured by Razalon. However, the speeder was heavily modified to remove all nonessential systems, giving Bloodfin the maximum output of speed when traveling across land for Maul's stealth missions. During his apprenticeship to the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Maul kept Bloodfin docked aboard his modified Star Courier, Scimitar, and later used the speeder bike to pursue Queen Padmé Amidala's escort during the Naboo Crisis. When Maul reached the Queen's royal starship in the Tatooine desert, he leapt off Bloodfin and engaged the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in a duel, only moments before the Queen and the Jedi got away. This act revealed Maul and the Sith to the Jedi Order, after a millennia of plotting in secret.
