Command Speeder 714-D

Command Speeder 714-D was the model designation attributed to a modified LAVr QH-7 Chariot. Like most LAVs, the 714-D was designed for atmospheric combat and was known for its durable, armored hull plating.

In 5 ABY, members of the Senate Planetary Intelligence Network stole one of the QH-7s from Imperial forces. Under the instruction of Admiral Ackbar at Pisces Base, technicians modified the small speeder with Ion engine repulsors and a hyperdrive system, allowing the 714-D the ability to travel through outer space for short distances.

Luke Skywalker piloted the 714-D to the planet, Kessel, to rendezvous with C-3PO and R2-D2 who had been operating on a secret mission for the New Republic. After picking up the droids, Luke returned the speeder to Pisces Base on the planet, Mon Calamari.
